if you said, knives, guns, tanks, jets or anything else, i would 100% agree with you. the problem is that the neighbor has nukes. better to leave them alone and not provoke them. what i expect to see is europe becoming physically and morally bankrupt. the world was just fine when we simply ignored Russia. well, whatever, lets see where we are in 10-20 years time.
This is why I hate nukes, instability within that country can also have unpredictable outcomes
