      I think Ukraine should set up the defenses they should have from the beginning to prevent an invasion.

      They “trusted” Russia before, it didn’t work out for them.

      They “trusted” the international community before, it didn’t work out for them.

      Now they have to trust themselves and mine the shit out of any border with Russia, regardless of if it looks like “escalation.”

      Absolutely. That means they win and they get the land they sought after. One of their biggest goals was to regain control over the dnipro River so they could reopen the fresh water supply to Crimea that was cut off back in 2012
