Yes. Our leaders should've pushed Russia back in 2014. This cannot be denied.

But we've also been the main theatre of two world wars that left our cities in ruins and we're still clearing old munitions from our lands - the destruction of life and material was immense. North America has never seen such level of human suffering and I hope you never will. Wanting to avoid a third world war by all means necessary is imperative for us, even so much that is has undermined this goal by emboldening the eternal enemy, Russia.

One also should remember that Europe is neither a country or a nation. Nor is the EU a federation like the US. Just one country can block extremely important decisions - like Hungary is doing while licking Putin's boots, because their greedy leader wants to keep buying cheap Russian gas and oil to keep his voters happy. EU also includes many countries who have never trusted Russia and never will.

The price of peace is eternal vigilance. Many of us had forgotten this simple truth and now Ukraine is paying the price.
