The consequences of letting someone get away with "Don't prevent my wars of conquest or I will nuke you" is the end of peace. The consequences are no different

The consequences of letting someone get away with "Don't prevent my wars of conquest or I will nuke you" is the end of peace.
The consequences are no different than when we tried that in the 30s. Appeasement doesn't work. Bullies and madmen only respect force.
If "neener neener I'll nuke you" works for Putin to take literally all of Ukraine, why would they stop? Why wouldn't China take something? Why wouldn't India? Why wouldn't the US?
