Even if Russia invades Ukraine, the US and Europe will do nothing to stop it, like every time:
- In 2000: Bush warned Putin not to stand against Chechnya' separation. Result: Russia invaded Chechnya and prevented its separation.
- In 2008: Bush warned Putin not to attack Georgia. Result: Russia invaded Georgia.
- In 2014: Obama warned Putin not to attack Ukraine. Result: Russia invaded Crimea and annexed it.
- In 2015: Obama warned Putin not to support Assad in Syria. Result: Russia entered Syria and saved Assad's ass and supported his massacres.
- In 2018: Trump demanded Putin to exit Syria. Result: Putin established a second base in Syria.
- And now: Biden warning Putin not to invade Ukraine. Result:??
The smart thing to do for Ukraine now is to abandon its plan to join the NATO, hence avoiding the war altogether, and not to rely on the US/West, not even the NATO members, to defend it, in the last 2 decades they proved to be just talk.
This NATO virtue-signaling goes back to
Hungary in 1956 and
Czechoslovakia in 1968.
