'While some in Washington can envisage sacrificing Ukraine, Europeans don't have that luxury'

Nobody can really afford to let Ukraine be coopted like Russia is trying. Unless they’re russian allies/sycophants. In which case, carry on, I guess.

It's almost like allying with the biggest bully in the world doesn't work for your own self interest.

Should they have allied with the countries currently invading one of their neighbors?

Most definitely not.
This isn't one of those situations where there's a good guy and a bad guy.
Russia is messed up. No one should be defending the invasion.
The US will only help if their economic interests align. That includes helping with conditions that are predatory.
