WW2 was not a "world police" scenario, neither the UK nor the US got involved until there was a political mandate to do so. We can rewrite history and pretend that it was all good-heartedness and out of a desire to save innocents but it wasn't; the UK had a military pact with Poland, the Nazis invaded Poland, that pact was activated and Britain declared war. The US didn't get involved until they were attacked directly.
The UK and US won't go to war with Russia unless/until a NATO country or other country we have an alliance with is attacked. Nor should they. Ukraine is not one of those countries. Politically, it's that simple.
