It might not quite occur to you, but most of the time the reason that countries go all-in in this kind of defence is that it cost them more to not do it.

Stopping Russia now is akin to going back in time and stopping Hitler in Poland during World War 2, a lot less bloodshed would happen as a result.

Most countries that've got involved are doing so because it's the lesser of two costs.
