I’m pretty sure every country on earth would respond to a hostile force amassing troops & missiles at their border.
The fundamental difference here is between a sovereign nation pursuing defensive alliances versus an aggressive invasion violating international law. Ukraine wasn't "amassing troops & missiles" at Russia's border as an hostile threat - it was seeking security guarantees after Russia had already annexed Crimea in 2014 and fomented separatist movements in eastern Ukraine. National sovereignty means countries get to determine their own security arrangements, and Russia's "security concerns" don't justify violating Ukraine's territorial integrity or dictating its foreign policy choices.
It’s not a sovereign nation. The US installed a far-right puppet regime in the 2014 Maidan Coup, which triggered the Crimea invasion.
Funny that folks who claim to support Ukrainian sovereignty don’t give a shit about them being under a western thumb.
And where is the "non-puppet" that was removed during the Maidan Revolution hiding these days?
