Hey you asked the question! Over the past 20 odd years Putin has gotten away with war after war after war
He's gotten away with public assassinations and poisonings. He even got away with annexing Ukrainian soil
So, invading Ukraine? Fuck it. Why not. Europe have let him get away with murder and worse than murder for more than 20 years. He's surrounded by "Yes Men" Generals who dont know what they are doing and, in a strict numbers game, the invasion should be a walk in the park. Germany sent helmets as support. Such a show of strength, thanks guyz!

Because the war crimes should not continue? (Your response indicates that you have a philosophy of allowing war crimes. I'll note your answer to the survey is a 'yes'.)

If western nations were so determined to stop war crimes, they should not have let the current state of affairs to occur. The same governments who did nothing repeatedly to deter aggression are both complicit and equally guilty.
Its called "RealPolitik" and it is a skill that current governments have spectacularly failed at. The majority of Europe has had a false peace for 20 years by actively ignoring Russian aggression. They have been warned time and Time and Time again. You cant say it wasnt expected because it was expected. You cant say it was a surprise because it wasnt a surprise.
The only real surprise here is just how badly the Russians have fared in the war.

All political philosophy and history aside, at issue is: necessity. How to stop the genocide.

Unless a miracle occurs (Belarus switching sides or Putin dying), NATO or another country is going to have to intervene. Negotiations between Ukraine and Russia are out of the question due to de-Nazification propaganda. U.N are no use as during the last genocide in Europe they just stood and watched.
