But Ukraine? Putin only responds the way we want him to when he is faced with overwhelming force. I suggest that Ukraine should have been embraced by NATO before 2014 - Crimea would not have been snatched and today's conflict would be unthinkable.
Admittedly, it’s a confusing mess of everything including and let’s be honest, my considered point that dominant cultures seek dominance. Ukraine has much cross over relevance with Russia. Sometimes you give a little for the sake of regional peace. I understand Putin has wanted to reinstall the empire and he tries every chance he can get. One can argue that Ukraine was not supremely important. This can be argued in the reverse, too. Most of the former eastern block made it to the West. So how important has it been to stave off Putin with a no NATO at least through the remainder of his ending lifespan. Instead, war and death and a whole lot of suffering of the Ukrainian people. Understand, I’m now all in. It’s too late. Russia cannot be allowed to win. But they won’t totally lose either. They will likely get to keep Crimea it belonged to Russia anyway pre 1953.
I’m much more concerned over the rise of nationalism almost exclusively based opened migration and this, in my opinion, should never ever ever ever been allowed and as well in our own country.
