Western Europe getting involved could be so much worse.

Let's remind ourselves you fight for your country, we on the other hand have nuclear weapons and rising fascism all over...

So in account of humanity thanks for keeping Russia's shit out.

FYI, I'm not Ukrainian. I'm Romanian. We have more skin in the game than Germany or France though. If Ukraine falls, Moldova falls 24 hours later, and allowing our brother country to go back under Russian domination is pretty unthinkable.

Even without that existential issue, allowing democratically minded Europeans trying to walk the same path we walked 25 years ago get invaded by Russia without as much help as we can give them seems horrific to me.

To be clear i agree.

I do feel for the Russian people that will suffer Putin's decisions, but i personally wouldn't concede one bit of Ukrainian soil to that fucker.

I wish my country was helping. That said, as a French without any skin in the game, let me tell you we don't even have skin in our own games. (If you followed any news of us you know)

It's not like any of us are ever being asked what to do. And I do genuinely fear our so called democracies are gonna implode. And when they do, diplomacy with Russia will get bad for everyone.
