A country can become an ally even without vote in the senate.

This matters just as much:
You DON’T mess with security agreements.

Bilateral security agreements:

In early 2024, following the 24 February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, a number of allies of Ukraine signed long-term bilateral security treaties with Ukraine for many years to come (often a period of 10 years).[9] They resulted from a declaration by the G7 countries at a NATO Summit in Washington on 12 July 2023, concluding the establishment of a framework of bilateral security agreements of long-term military, materiel and economic support for Ukraine’s defence. [9] The bilateral agreements prioritised strengthening Ukrainian air defence systems, artillery, long-range strike capabilities, armour, and combat aviation to fend off Russian military aggression.[9]

12 January 2024: The United Kingdom signed a bilateral security cooperation agreement with Ukraine.[10]

Since then, an extra 25 countries announced that they were ready to sign such long-term bilateral security agreements with Ukraine as well.[9]

1 March 2024: The Netherlands signed a 10-year bilateral security cooperation agreement with Ukraine. [11][12] It joined 31 other countries which had recently concluded bilateral security treaties with Ukraine, or were negotiating to do so.[12]

As of 15 March 2024, parties negotiating long-term bilateral security agreements with Ukraine included the United States, Japan, Romania, Norway, Spain, Greece, Finland, and Latvia, as well as the European Union.[13]
11 April 2024: The Latvia signed a 10-year security agreement with Ukraine.[14]

You’re wasting your time with your long-winded posts that nobody reads.

And you’re wasting your time trying to change people’s minds.
