When i see "x does not want war, x just want's to live their lives and be left alone" i really don't know what that means? Are we bunch of children who think that you have to "want" war to get war? That you have to somehow invite it to have it? That you have to actively participate in creating war? That simply ignoring it can somehow remove you from effects of that war? Yes, you can try to ignore war, that's for sure, but what happens when war or it's effect comes knocking on your doors? Is it ok to ignore war that is near you and do nothing and hope it won't spill out to your land one way or another (it doesn't alway happens as a wave of tanks coming across your border), or is it better to help defender defend himself so that you have friendly thankful neighbor in between yourself and attacker? Or are we naive enough to think that "they won't attack us"? You can't get peace by sitting on your hands and pretending it doesn't concern you. Bully will eventually look your way and you can't say: "leave me alone, i don't want to participate" to a local bully. It did not work in school, it did not work on local playground and it does not work in global politics. Never worked and it never will. Only thing people of Europe can do to keep peace inside their borders and keep living their lives without war is to group up and help Ukraine to stop Russia. If you think that ignoring whole thing and pretending it doesn't concern you is viable option, you need to retake history classes, because you clearly failed to learn what happened in the past when whole nations said: "they won't attack us". Last time people of Europe played dumb we had that thing called....world war. Even some people of US tried to play dumb. Some of them called for "talks with Hitler" and "he did nothing to us" etc. And than war came knocking. You can't stop war by simply ignoring it or not wanting to participate in it. It's like "i don't want to be sick". Well....flue virus simply doesn't care what you want.
