Its almost like the lessons of WW2 have been completely forgotten. When Germany invaded and annexed their first country, Europe sat passively hoping Germany would stop. But with each invasion Germany got stronger and made it harder to prevent future invasions. If you tolerate evil happening to others, then evil gets stronger. If you tolerate enough evil it will eventually be on your doorstep. Russia has shown a pattern of invasions, taking Georgia in 2008, taking Crimea in 2014, and now all of Ukraine in 2022. This philosophy of selfishly ignoring the victimization and destruction of weak nations because you value your money more than innocent lives - it is not only greedy and cowardly, it is self-destructive in the long run.
