They had their chance to join NATO. They made their choice to stand on their own. It sucks it russia goes after them but each nation has the right of self-determination and reslonsibility of forming alliances and and a military to defend its borders. "We won't join NATO because you will save us when the time comes anyways" is not a good stance but it is the stance these very democratic nations took.

Tell that the Iraqis or Libyans or Syrians or Afghanis. Oh wait, they are terrorists when they do it but Ukrainians are freedom fighters?

Ah yes who can forget the mighty parallels between Gaddafi and Assad with the current Ukrainian president.

Ah yes, it is the US who gets to declare who the proper leaders are and to liberate and create corporatocracies around the world.
Where do you draw the line? I don’t think any of those are acceptable. If you don’t fight a expansionist tyrant then what do you envision happens? Sacrificing innocent free countries to (maybe) appease a monster is completely out of the question.
Things can get bad if you interfere - things are guaranteed to get bad if you don’t
