It’s almost like the disunity with europe is part of some targeted effort

You don’t do it by appeasing then and allowing them to invade neighbors.

We were making Russia a geopolitical ally. Russia decided to invade Ukraine. Appeasement met with backstabbing.

The bully that starts the war doesn’t need to be appeased to stop the war. They need to be defeated.

History tells this is the only way. Appeasement just drags the way out until the bully bullies again.
