I strongly believe the American choice was a strategic decision made by a group of highly intelligent individuals.

To placate or appeal to the current American leadership?

What's the desired outcome? European, NATO, or Ukrainian security guarantees?

that would be pretty dump to try, I don't think there are any such goles

only we speak about "appealing to them to be more human", "appealing to them to follow christian values", denouncing people which claim to represent christian values in their action which in fact are opposite to what the Roman Church things Christian values are etc.

if we speak about directly influencing politics, especially geopolitics that seems very unlikely to be the intend, or doable
