@RikaDerufu @augustus when you have russia next door you kinda beg for said alliance to come and give you some security assurance - we have an old communist era joke here:
Q: who are the soviet union neighbors?
A: whoever it wants
just ask the baltic countries why they went for nato membership as soon as they could -

@augustus mate, one of these is not like the others, and burgers don't have monopoly on "certain region suddenly becomes restless and asserts independence; also, troops and weapons materialize out of thin air" - apart from the ones in ukraine there's 2 of them in Georgia, and Transnistria in Moldova
What changed recently is for mysterious reasons putin wasn't content with having yet another one of those, and proceeded to (try to) invade the whole country because muh russian imperium needs to be reborn or something (... and their ideological boi dugin believes it needs to span basically orwell's eurasia, leaving airstrip one to the atlanticist club) -

@augustus I think you're giving them way too much agency and way too little agency to the locals; russia is pretty unpopular in these parts of the world, for 400-ish years of good reasons.
