Genuinely curious what you think the alternatives are if the West and America in particular should not support the defense of Ukraine and Israel?

What specifically should the response be that will deter adversaries, calm extremists, and bring geopolitical stability to those respective regions?

The pacifist world you're advocating for would leave a a vacuum and fertile environment for autocracy and extremism to thrive.

I'm not saying force is always the answer. But it has to be an option on the table.
