    As we’ve seen already. This is a very naive take.

    What a country should be able to do or not is only valid if they have military might to defend their position

    Ukraine obviously don’t have that against Russia

      Are you justifying the Russian invasion because Ukraine doesn’t have the means to defend themselves from them without support? Your take suggests any country should invade another if they can’t defend themselves.

        No, I’m suggesting the world is not fair and relations between countries are anarchical. If you take an aggressive stance against other countries, specially your neighbors, you should be prepared to defend it.

        So Ukraine wanting to join NATO is only one part of the game and other countries might wanna play too

          Ah, so it would be okay for the West to nuke the fuck out of Russia and take in Ukraine and Georgia and anyone else wanting to join up. Might makes right.

        If they could sneak into NATO before getting fucked by Russia it would be good to them
