I think there is another reason Jeremy; MONEY.
Eastern-European nations are rather poor, US financial "support" will most likely change their point of view and it did in this case.

This whole deal is going to cost the US billions of dollars they can't really afford to spend at the moment, not sure if that is a good development.
