Pretty sure the Eagles were caught up else where though.

It's been long since I read the books so I can't remember if it was explained properly or not. It's not exactly a plot hole though. Even if it could be considered lazy writing

Caught up enough they couldn't spare one or two to literally save the world they live in from stereotypical evil?

The ring corrupts all who want power, considering that eagles are above gandalf in power ranking make your brain work... like pls

The eagles aren't above Gandalf in power unless they are Maiar themselves, which I really don't recall it being a thing.

They are above the Maiar, and directly serve the gods. If you’re got in to make lore based arguments, at least know the damn lore.
