Yes. I agree. I appreciate and value the contributions offered by Jake and by Georgijs of Ukraine Matters.
However, the predominent circumstances, perceptions and perspectives, held ten or more years ago, were very different from what subsequently existed in February 2022. Since Russia's secondary full-scale invasion following the initial insurgency in 2014, Ukraine has positively changed the minds of the majority of people in more that 60 Free World countries. That change of minds, through the demonstrations of courage, determination, sound military tactics and other attributes, has earned the Ukrainians the admiration, support and assistance of those countries.
I likewise question the idea that "the war was preventable". Any war can be said to have been preventable, if we postulate any of the inumerable possible conditions and ways in which any war could have been prevented. "Hindsight is normally viewed as if with 20/20 vision.
{The word hindsight refers to looking back or reflecting on things in the past, and 20/20 refers to perfect vision. So when we look back on situations in the past, we see things clearly that were not clear to us at the time.}
