West wants to station Nukes at Russian borders.

Russia: "No, that's to close to me" cryingwojak.jpg

Signs contract for Ukraines sovereignty in exchange for no nukes stationed there.

Doesn't honor contract by attacking Ukraine

West bring out the nukes

Russia: Supprised Pikachu face

All Russia has to do is fuck off from Ukrainian soil as per maps before 2014, pay reparations for the next 100 years and we all good.

Yeah but that would be so embarrassing.

pay reparations for the next 100 years

When we did that to Germany it led to something far worse

Only because the reparations weren't severe enough to prevent Germany from becoming another military superpower but too severe to be handwaved away.

Either give a slap on the wrist or make the country literally paraplegic. Don't just put a knife in the shoulder and call it a day.
