The troops are sent to those countries as containment. Romania and Poland are in NATO and Europe in general feels directly threatened. They are allies and doing nothing is also a decision with consequences just doing something is. The world has decided that the Ukraine is not worth engaging a nuclear power like Russia for but Poland, Romania, and the rest of Europe are. The line has to be drawn somewhere, where would you draw the line for a Russia engagement? Should we let them continue on to Poland, Romania, Germany and France if they want? How about Canada and Mexico would they be worth a response or is it America first until the end?
Here is an interesting comment I stole from Reddit from someone who seems to know more about the details than I do.
Ah yes, Paul Manafort, one of the shitbags Trump pardoned, because why not. For some reason I think Russia has infiltrated American politics as well. Especially from 2016-2020. It certainly succeeded in destabilizing and dividing the country.

Fake hillbilly JD Vance told felon Steve Bannon that US is only going to war against Russia because Russia opposes transgender rights. Except US is not going to war against Russia and Russian government opposes all civil rights, not just trans people. But who needs facts?

Putin to recognise breakaway Ukraine regions Why does the West fear this move? As Putin continues to deliver his address the nation, let's consider why Russia recognising the independence of two self-declared breakaway regions in Ukraine could be significant. It goes beyond sanctions - which the EU has threatened to impose if Russia follows through with this. Western powers fear such a move could be used as a pretext for Russia to invade its eastern neighbour.
