exactly ! to turn a blind eye to putins obvious expansionism ....or to expect it to just go away , is simply to deny reality
putin will simply rebuild his military and after a period ....go again at controlling Ukraine .....his ego demands victory and he will keep doubling down until he gets it ....or is removed from office or has the russ economy collapse under him
what putin has done in Ukraine is to push Ukraine into the arms of the west ....that can't be undone by virtue of Ukraines need for protection there is no middle way possible for Ukraine now
