If your aim is to prevent war, what is your solution for when the vast majority of people in one country want to join another, and vote accordingly?

A complicated situation certainly, but whatever the answer is, it is not "collude with a neighbouring foreign nation, allow them to invade, and provoke a military conflict."

So you don't have an answer, but "a vote followed by annexation" is unacceptable for some reason? Why reject a peaceful solution that results in people having the government they want to live under?

Apparently it's "collude with local fascists and US MIC and allow them to provoke a military conflict and wage a proxy war with Russia"

Pretty extreme answer for a situation you consider to be "complicated"
