After the Revolutionary War was over, the decision makers realized that if they, as small colonies/states, didn’t join together, foreign powers would be able to pick them off individually. Even recognizing that premise, getting all the states to vote to band together was like herding cats. We have to find ways to help Ukraine not “get picked off” by Russia. Limited direct engagement on our part would be disasterous.
