This war was Totally Avoidable from the Start - as the original Russian demands were reasonable.

That was Ukraine stay out of Nato (people forget Nato is a military alliance, not a social club) and get security guarantees, and then implement the Minsk 2 agreement.

This would have brought Peace to the Donbass which had been at war for 8 years, and the region would remain as Ukraine territory.

And Ukraine would become a neutral state - just like existing neutral states within Europe, with security guarantees.

Instead, the "tools" in power, said it was a Non-Starter.

Now, after nearly 5 months of war, hundreds of billions in destruction, 8 million refugees, up to 100,000 deaths on both sides, Ukraine losing up to 25% of its territory and world economies around the world at the precipice of a deep recession.

What a Bloody Disaster and yet, was Totally Avoidable.

Ukraine was not joining NATO and Russia itself repeatedly violated the Minsk agreement so your point is moot.
