Someone may actually be using their brain for a change.
I dunno....Ukraine NOT in NATO hasn't stopped Putin from invading....even Ukraine giving up their nukes for peace, trusting the West, had been an error in hindsight.
There is a case to be made that Putin was deadset on invading from the beginning, NATO etc. only a useful scapegoat and excuse.
The West, especially Germany, did everything Putin asked for....Merkel stopping an Ukraine membership in NATO already back in 2008 to favour Putin....and it was no use, because NATO was never the real problem!

"Using their brain" would today mean, with all the hindsight, that NATO should stop to try favoring, pleasing Putin....
