re: Ukraine Military Aid

It’s a vital US national national interest to ensure that our allies survive. Ukraine easily checks the box.

1) What does Ukraine provide that is singularly beneficial to the United States?

2) What treaty exists between Ukraine and the United States related to national defense of either nation?

3) What box does Ukraine check in any relation to being an ally? Simply not being belligerent toward the United States does not mean that they are an ally.

I fail to see any box to be checked that would indicate Ukraine is an ally. Admission to NATO would be ex post facto as such admission to the organization would occur only after the invitation or the request to enter into NATO was extended or made after incursions into Ukraine occurred. Furthermore, no incursions or military actions have taken place nor been directed at any existing NATO members.

Why do you believe that the United States should enter into war on behalf of Ukraine? What benefit does it provide our nation?
