Ukrainians disagree. And they are the ones that matter. If you want to live in slavery or without political rights, it is your choice, of course.

Says you, an anonymous nobody on the internet.

I'm going to over to your place, take over the nicest room, lock a few people in the basement if they complain, and you'll be going to work everyday to pay for this. Sound good?

So by that logic, Ukraine and in fact every country that Putin sets his eyes on should just roll over and surrender?

The mere threat of violence should allow a dictator to take over, as long as the country is moderately corrupt?

I hate to break it to you, that's nearly every country in the world, so Putin (or any other dictator) could become the world's emperor if they just made a credible threat?

This is why total pacifism is insanity folks.

Yet somehow almost every nation that's neighboring Russia is ready to fight Russia just for the privilege of not being in Russia. We cannot all be just delusional.
