So by that logic, Ukraine and in fact every country that Putin sets his eyes on should just roll over and surrender?

The mere threat of violence should allow a dictator to take over, as long as the country is moderately corrupt?

I hate to break it to you, that’s nearly every country in the world, so Putin (or any other dictator) could become the world’s emperor if they just made a credible threat?

This is why total pacifism is insanity folks.
