We are in a tough predicament and a world of hurt on choices at this point.
There are two things that invite war (1) the lack of diplomacy and (2) a show of weakness.

We have to support Ukraine due to the message it sends not supporting them. Though look now further than the losers in the bureaucracy and the Biden Administration who helped lay the groundwork.
