What can such grand posturing achieve if Ukraine cannot win?
The National Interest article "Biden Embraces a Ukrainian Defeat" certainly considers US response inadequate.
https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/03/biden-embraces-a-ukrainian-defeat/#slide-1

"It has become evident the Biden administration has embraced conflict “containment” as its principal objective in dealing with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. According to this theory, while it would be nice if Ukraine survives the war, that is not of fundamental importance. What is critical, as far as the Biden administration is concerned, is that the war not spread to involve other parties, notably the U.S. and NATO. Thus, Biden has ruled out providing NATO air support, a no-fly zone, old Warsaw Pact MiGs, or even Patriot anti-missile batteries on the supposition that such aid might sufficiently anger Russian dictator Vladimir Putin such that he lashes out at the United States or our NATO allies, thereby drawing us into the war.

There are a number of flaws in this strategy. In the first place, it leaves Putin not only with the initiative, but also the authority to set the rules as to what the U.S. is permitted or forbidden to do in defense of the free world. In the second place, it is based on the conceit that Putin requires a provocation or legal justification to launch an attack on anyone.
....
But the biggest problem with Biden’s strategy is that it fails to look ahead."
