Quick reminder that Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014, before that they invaded Georgia and before that they took Chechnia. And yet even now the popular belief in the West is that the war in Ukraine will be the end of it and that some sort of a peace deal can hold.

Thank you. It has been incredibly frustrating to watch the modern appeasement movement repeat the mistakes of the 1930s.

You cannot appease an expansionist power that's intent on restoring the glory of an empire from days gone by (real or imagined).

Few believe Russia would risk expansion into nato territory.
