          If you accept that the demands haven’t changed, then you understand that if these demands were met prior to the invasion then there wouldn’t be an invasion?

              Once again, my point was that the west did not engage in diplomacy with Russia and did not make any attempts to address their concerns. If you don’t understand why it’s desirable to try and resolve problems before they escalate into an open conflict, I really don’t know what else to tell you. Painting Russia as being implacable and claiming that any negotiations would be pointless is a self fulfilling prophecy.

                  The German government did not engage in any meaningful diplomacy. At no point did any western nations take Russia’s concerns seriously or made any attempt to address them. Blaming German government for failing to do what it could to try and avert the war is absolutely correct position to take. In fact, any of the NATO member governments could’ve done this, but Germany was certainly in the best position to do so.
