What the US (and Europe) should have done was to take away the nukes from Russia, and let Ukraine have their nukes after the fall of USSR. Russia definitely has more history of imperialism than Ukraine (which has none of that)

> and let Ukraine have their nukes

Why would anyone in their right mind want to give nukes to a smaller, less stable country?

This is just recency bias run amok.

What the US and Europe should have done was to strip Russia off all its colonies, not just some of them.
