You're making a mountain out of a mole hill, a tempest in a tea cup, and this makes as much sense as tits on a turtle. As we've discussed history before, I recommend reading about the Cold War, as well as the abuses of authoritarian regimes throughout history. The relative democracy you enjoy in the US is threatened by the the global bellicosity of authoritarians like Putin, Xi Jinping, Benjamin Netanyahu, Narendra Modi, Mohammed bin Salman, and others. These are the 'global order' assholes we need to challenge and they will only understand economic and military pressure. The current investment in Ukraine is a NATO obligation SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of keeping Russian aggression out of Europe. It's also a very small price to pay for the survival of democratically elected states.
