It's their decision of course. I hate to see them lose, and I hate that my country isn't doing more. We made a damn promise, and when it came time to make good, we half-assed it. Not enough oil I guess. But I also don't want to see Russia bully their way to more territory either, as that just shows the world that they are still a threat, and leads to another round of russian fear for the world.

the vast majority of the world fears the US and Europe more than Russia. In fact, Russia is quite liked by most of the world believe it or not 🤷

The world doesn't fear Russia, though, the world fears the west. It's the west that fears Russia, and is harvesting Ukraine for resources and racking them up with debt for hand-me-down surplus to support the far-right Banderites in Kiev ethnic cleansing the Donbass region. The Ukrainian people increasingly want peace over war, not to fight to the last Ukrainian, it's the Banderites that want to sacrifice Ukrainain people while they hide from the frontlines.

Yeah, only NATO and Israel should be allowed to bully their way into territory.

How about everyone respect the land they've had for decades and stop trying to rekindle colonialism? We're talking about Russia and Ukraine and you're bringing in other entities into the discussion? Try keeping the train on the tracks. Russia already took over Georgia and Crimea in the past 20 years, just a slow progression to reacquire the good ole Soviet Union. If countries really wanna get the band back together, they'd do so with votes or formal agreements. When foreign tanks roll across borders, any claim of a peaceful integration is a fucking lie, and is in fact a bullying, aggressive act of war.
