This is called "appeasement", and when you practice it with aggressively expansionist dictators, all it gets you is lots of land conquered by them and people killed before you actually admit that they need to be stopped.
- brandonmenc 5y agoThe difference here is that Putin has thousands of nukes. That means we can't "just stop" him. It sucks. If Hitler had nukes, Nazi Germany would probably still exist in some form. I just don't see a viable endgame short of an internal Russian revolution that takes out Putin. Until then, the only truly defendable border stops at NATO. Ukraine is not in NATO. Yes, the situation is tragic.
