Ukraine has a professional-grade army with Western material and intelligence support. US fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iraqi Shia majority was against Saddam and happy to see his regime brought down. His army was not professional. Afghanistan has nothing more than lightly armed tribes. If US fought in somewhere like Egypt, it would face heavy casualties. Being a superpower does not enable to just boulder through a whole country with no trouble. Occupying one nation is a costly and long term task.
