> If I were a small country afraid of a larger one I would also try to find me a big brother. USA and other world powers honour treaties only when it serves them. If you think they would aid an ally in the time of need just look at how they honoured the Vienna treaty and helped Ukraine when it was invaded. Or how the UK abandoned Poland in 1939 (yes, they declared war on Germany and that was it). Alliance/military treaties are worth as much as the piece of paper they are written on.
