It's definitely the first time since WWII that a democracy of 45 million people has been invaded... In fact, Ukraine in February was larger and more populous than any of the democracies that Hitler invaded.

> actual REALITY is the only way to get out of this crisis without a nuclear exchange

Ah yes "realpolitik". Which is straight up Russian propaganda to prevent us from reacting because "nuclear weapons". You aren't helping.

I want to see Russia driven out of Ukraine, for Putin to be removed out a window and for the Make Russia Great Again culture to collapse with the death of the strongman/myth. I'm just not blinding myself to the risks that are involved, I'm definitely not trying to convince myself that up is down.
