The world talked peace with Putin when he annexed Crimea. The world talked peace with Putin when he supported separatists in Ukraine in 2014 and set up puppet states. Result-Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022, trying to take the capitol.
Shoo, Twitter Chimp. No one pays attention to Regime Changers.
Yep, appeasement just invites more conquest when you are dealing with someone like Putin.
This is an interesting recap including the framing of "separatists." Let us apply your view to other conflicts in which "separatists" have won or at least are persevering against the US military.
Vietnam, lost to the Viet Cong. Iraq, still a mess. Afghanistan, lost to the Taliban. Syria, still persevering in spite of about a third of the country under US military control. The three month bombing of Serbia, which won for "separatists" in Kosovo a US/NATO separation between peoples. Which are the "separatists" in this paragraph? The Vietnamese? The Taliban? The Iraqis and Syrians?
Moreover, given the US military presence in more than three-quarters of the world's nations even now costing US taxpayers and debt makers trillions, discussions of "separatists" is a large subject, in which we, with near $31 trillion dollars of national debt, are funding lots of separatism. And some puppet states as well.
To propose the Ukraine/Russia conflict as something other than all the others in the last fifty years is to lose sight of history, And debt.
Perhaps "the world is talking peace," as you write, but the West is currently "walking" war. Surveying the non-Western press such as that from Asia and Africa, it seems the "world" is not nearly as interested as the "war" party of the US, the Democrats and the Institute of War lobbyists in the state department, nor our current General Raytheon leading the DOD.
