If you compare what happened in 2022 to what happened in 2014, you could make the argument that basically nothing was done in 2014. I had a friend who kept saying that we needed to do something back then, and kinda ignored him, and now looking back, it's depressing how right he was.

  Nah, Ukraine improved it's ability to defend itself after 2014, leaving Russia the choice of accepting defeat or outright invasion. It chose invasion.
