Cynical as it is, that's what makes them "vital".

Trump and Vance are obviously monstrous pieces of shit, and helping Ukraine is pretty objectively correct both morally and strategically, but losing Taiwan, specifically TSMC would do a pretty incredible amount of damage, while losing Ukraine would empower Russia, but otherwise do fairly limited damage to US interests.
