Israel cares.
Russia basically has a monopoly on European energy. A majority of of the oil and gas comes from Russia. That was going to change in the late 90s, several middle eastern countries had proposed pipelines to compete. Roughly a decade of destabilization later, it boiled down to a Saudi/Israeli pipeline and a Iran-Iraq pipeline, both going through Syria. Shortly before Syria imploded (or, more accurately, was imploded) a CIA front company called genie energy "discovered" what is supposedly the world's largest oil/gas reserve under the Golan Heights. Unfortunately, Syria wasn't great friends with Israel and told them to kick rocks. Russia had come on board as kind of a silent partner to the Iranians and their pipeline because the two countries have a kind of profit sharing agreement in which Russia doesn't stand to lose as much of the market, and Iran makes Bank. Both pipelines need to pass through Syria, and Assad is friendly to Russia. Therefore, the US government started a civil war in Syria to replace Assad with a pro Israel puppet, which drew Russia in to prop up their ally.
Fast forward to today, the US is trying to make Ukraine a NATO member in violation of treaties and the Ukrainian constitution (they they're "legally required" -lulz- to remain neutral for exactly the reason I'm a about to describe.) We want them in NATO so that the puppet regime is there to greenlight the Israeli pipeline as soon as Syria is finished (which implies that they have something big planned for Syria); and as a NATO member, they're backed by the full protection of the rest of NATO. Russia wants ukraine so the war in Syria becomes pointless. If Russia controls Ukraine, even if Syria falls, Russia can still block basically any pipelines it wants that are coming out of the middle east. If NATO "takes" Ukraine, Russia has to prop up Syria indefinitely. This also explains why Israel has such a vested military interest in Ukraine, to the extent of having had "mercenaries" on the ground, and arming the Azov battalion.
TL;DR Saudi Arabia and Israel want to build a pipeline into Europe and it would fuck the Russian economy into outer space. Russia and America can continue pissing around in Syria in perpetude, but if Russia controls Ukraine, Syria is meaningless; and if that were to happen, then Israel wouldn't get their way. So, yes, real people don't care, but Joe "you don't have to be jewish to be a zionist" Biden, and the zionist deep state running western governments don't really care that you don't care; they just need you to be prepared to go out and die for muh greatest ally in the next global brother war.
