Ukraine certainly didn't want war, but they had no choice. Israel overreacted because Bibi is a jerk, but they were attacked first. Do you know what would happen to a nation tha failed to act on behalf of a longstanding ally which was attacked? Even without a treaty (and treaties are the law of the land according to the Constitution)? No ither nation would ever ally with it again. You think Donald Trump*'s shenanigans made other countries trust us less? Yes, they did. But he was obviously nuts, so we got the trust back. But if Joe had failed to provide aid to Israel in those first days, it have been decades or more before we regained any kind of trust from anyone. Joe has clearly had it with Bibi, and told him so recently. But he's not about to commit national suicide over him.
