You know what also would have saved lives, and reduced tensions?

Not expanding NATO.

Putin has been the driving force in expanding NATO. Literally none would care if we didn't have to worry about that asshole eastern neighbor

It’s also pretty silly because there are two NATO member nations closer to Moscow than Ukraine.

But hey, I can’t imagine why the people of all these democratic nations keep voting to join a mutual defense pact. It can’t be because of anything to do with fear of being invaded by the unstable dictator next door, after all, we know the world only exists of the US and Russia and no other people could possibly have a voice in their local government or matter in any way.
