Whether someone's concerns are legitimate is in the eye of the beholder, but actions can be directly observed. Unilateral violent invasion must not become a legitimate tactic again. It was the norm for centuries, and excluding it resulted in the fastest rise in global living standards in history--including in the U.S. and Russia.

I thought Russia did a unique “full scale” unprovoked invasion? You can’t have it both ways and pearl clutch about sovereignty.
World affairs is only ever literally just gentlemens’ agreements and always has been.
