The way defensive alliances work is that you don't go joining wars together. You defend each other. It's a net-positive to join defensive alliances.
Ukraine never joined any defensive alliances because they had a protection pact from Russia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Securit...
Russia broke their agreement for yet another time.
If I were Russia's current allies I would be re-evaluating those agreements right now. Looks like Pakistan sure didn't like seeing Imran Khan meeting with Putin during the start of the war. Pakistan's ISI would have to be pretty terrible at their job to not be updating Imran Khan on very public(biden was all over aljazera) imminent war by Russia and the relationship of his meeting with Putin.
Imran then lost his allies and tossed him to the curb. Pakistan Muslim league who stands for conservatism, economic liberalism, federalism. They want to see greater strengthening of relations with the west. Even the USA despite the whole navy seals killing people on pakistan soil issue. Not to mention better relations with india.
What are people saying on twitter? The USA owns all those Pakistan politicians and the ISI and overthrew their government. I very much doubt the USA is proxy operating Pakistan.
