It sounds like these other countries have listened…

Yes, dear Eastern Europe, please don't join NATO, otherwise we won't be able to invade you once we finish modernizing our army. After all we are a master race destined by God to rule over Eastern Europe. Please respect our concerns.

Simply don't protect yourself from invasion by Russia if you are a potential target for Russian invasion, and Russia will not be forced to invade (at least for now.)

Okay, so Ukraine didn't join NATO and then they were invaded. That doesn't sound like it's a message worth listening to.

  The conflict was almost inevitable. In January, before the war started, Russia made the last attempt to stop the expansion. The U.S. rejected it [1]. Russia made multiple hints saying that if the expansion continues, they'll invade. That's why, imho, Biden was so confident in Feb 19-20 saying the war will begin within a week. Heck, even Ukraine knew everything, but they decided to hide it from people - this was confirmed by the Ukrainian government during one of the interviews.

    So russia tried really hard to NOT invade a sovereign country and US made it impossible? Which twisted logic do you have? russia had no chance but go in and bomb maternity wards, genocide away freely, poor-poor russia, they had no chance of just not doing any of that? /s > Russia made the last attempt to stop the expansion you even use the word expansion here

      Russia is not targeting civilians, but since this is a war, civilians are obviously affected. What really happens is Russia targets military objects as part of their demilitarization goal. Ukraine shots down a rocket and then debris strikes into civilians buildings. This is happening daily. Example: today's night. My family is in Ukraine right now. Russia was bombing a military base which I used to walk around when I was a kid. Not a single civilian was harmed, but the base is on fire. > So russia tried really hard to NOT invade a sovereign country and US made it impossible? US made it possible by declining Russia's ask. That's how I see it.

        What legitimate business russia has being in Ukraine at all? Let alone you just lying about russia only targeting military.

        > What legitimate business russia has being in Ukraine at all? That's a strange question. There is very little common sense when a war is in progress. What legitimate business US had in Afghanistan? Such questions make zero sense. > Let alone you just lying about russia only targeting military. 30 minutes ago I jumped off a call with my parents in Ukraine. That's what they told me. That's what they've been telling me pretty much every day since the war began.
