You don’t get to pick and choose your fights with powerful neighbours. We have a saying, power doesn’t pray to god. You have to avoid fights with someone who is 20 times your size. Those are just simple facts of life. A monkey doesn’t challenge a gorilla for it’s territory.
Bro, Russia had already annexed parts of Ukraine in 2014. Russia already proved that they don’t give a rat’s dick about provocation or lack thereof.
Ukraine would have been stupid to not jump at a chance to join NATO at this point. There was already a clear need for an insurance policy against a Russian invasion.
Seriously dude, how much of a tankie do you have to be to keep victim blaming Ukraine?
Ukraine could have gulped and kept on opening markets towards the east (China and the likes… which is what Russia wants, no doubt there). They should have kept close relations with Russia, even after the annexation, cuz… you know, it’s Russia, they can prertty much do whatever they want 🤷.
And going on with that logic “my body, my choice”, here is where we end up. Thousands of civillians dead, soldiers as well, and they still won’t get what they want - being a part of NATO. Russia will never ever let that happen and the war won’t stop unless they completely fall back on this.
As I said, you can’t do whatever you want when your neighbour is an ex heavyweight champ. Sure, you can call the cops if pushing comes to shoving, but do consider what that person can do to you in the 5, 10 minutes that will take for the police to arrive.

There is literally nothing they could have done that would have kept Russia from invading. Do you keep forgetting they annexed Crimea in 2014?
