Russia is ok invading another country and killing it's populace. But the west shouldn't fight back incase it kills someone?
Why aren't you holding Russia to the same standard as everyone else. Why don't you require them to talk and 'appease' the west rather than invading?
But I think everybody here agrees with that, so what's the point of stressing it? You think Putin listens to my opinion?
Yes, and the West should be careful with military intervention, and consider whether it won't lead to more escalation and more death.
In fact, I think the EU could do more with economic sanctions. AFAIK we still buy oil from Russia.
I really don't get your POV Putin has repeatedly shown they he will invade other countries. If we don't stop him at Ukraine then next it may well be a nato member and then how much blood shed will there be?
Your suggested course just rewards aggression. Sometimes you need to stand up to bullies. Putin is a bully.
Well, you can't have one without the other, there's clear evidence of that going back decades.
In general, I am in favor of nonviolent resistance (which might include economic sanctions, sabotages etc.) rather than military action. In fact, it is often easier to gain moral support that way.
However, I understand that many humans naturally choose the latter, for tribal reasons, despite it being overall a worse choice.
