What's happening will most likely result in Putin becoming stronger & Ukraine being erased & absorbed into Russia. He has only been strengthened so far.
Putin tried to prevent this conflict in multiple ways. The US installed a puppet dictator that has banned all polical oppisition & enslaved Ukrainian citizens to fight for him in an unnecessary war.
The entire Russian economy is dependant on Ukraine. They are a critical trade partner & the only warm water port. Everyone in Russia suffers if shipping is cut off during cold months.
Anyone who advocates for these kinds of interventions should read Antifragile by Nassim Taleb.

Anyone with such a naive, tyrant-appeasing view of the world such go live in the Baltics for a while, under the long shade of the constant threat and low-intensity terrorism of Putin.
Very circumspect commentary. False dichotomies are all the rage.
