It doesn't; you're just dense or deliberately misconstruing my posts to grind your ideological axe. Europe should have checked Russia's aggression in 2014, when it annexed Crimea, not looked the other way and continued business as usual. Now Crimea is effectively gone for good, and Ukraine will be lucky if it gets back any significant quantity of Ukraine that Russia has stolen since 2022. Imagine how Ukrainians must feel, that Europe now is apparently willing to collectively go to war, but over an island in North America, and against the United States (a much more formidable power, militarily and economically than Russia), no less, but not for them.
