Lol, we tried your strategy, it just just emboldened Russia. Remember their attach on Georgia? How about their first invasion of Ukraine? Obviously, Russia wants to do what they want to do, especially if there’s no consequences. Let’s try this different approach and see if they feel being violent still helps them secure their goals.

If you seriously think taking some backwater nowhere gives Russia the military capabilities to invade the US, I’d like some of whatever you’re smoking

Give an actual reason we shouldn’t care about Russia’s history of attacks, that show you’re not ignorant of the topic, and I’ll actually provide you an answer. Your reply appears extremely ignorant.

The onus is on you to show that a reason does exist, not on me to prove a lack thereof.
