Conquering western Ukraine was basically never gonna happen. It's clear that his hope was to overthrow the government in Kiev, and then potentially partition.
Frankly, Russia was gunning for Georgia, but Georgia got way to aggressive (mostly because the Americans falsely promised that McCain would totally pull us into yet another war) and had a fairly significant armed incursion into the Russian side of disputed territory. The Russians took that as an act of war and hit back very fucking hard.
Lucky for the Georgians, Putin didn't install a puppet government, but it absolutely showed that the Americans 100% could not protect you from the Russian bear... mostly because we are really shit allies.
Aye, that adds some useful info I wasn't fully privy to.
And to your last point, the US is even more unreliable as allies when we've been kicking rocks in the Middle East for 20+ years. And now after all of that wasted time, resources, and manpower the US military is a shell of its former self. (And of course, those countries we were "helping" have just folded in on themselves more or less the second we left)
No one wants to get involved with US abroad operations after that entire period, and on top of that the military has become so pozzed with woke politics that it's gutting what little quality it might've had left. At least where its leadership is concerned, not that US brass has really been worth a damn for decades.
