Have you learned nothing from WW1? Massive military alliances don't prevent wars.
Notice you don't actually address appeasement doesn't work?
But as for ~~military~~ defence alliance (notice how you tried to misportray that?): Points to cold war.
Something tells me you're a Putin apologist.
You should listen to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. WW1 was interesting.

The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It
Notice that I pointed out that your solution is something else that doesn't work?
Oh fuck off with the smug smarmy shit nobody's impressed.
Putin has justified half of what he's done by playing the victim and whining about NATO expansion. He wants this, and you want him to have it.
The fuck kind of sentence is that? I'm not even sure what you're trying to to say. You're awfully arrogant for a guy who can't speak the language he's arguing in.
Look man, idk why you insist our only options are appeasement or provocation. Each of those led to a world war. And that's about all I'm going to say, because you're rambling incoherently at this point and it hurts my head to read it.
Lmao and you attack again. And try to suggest that Nato defence alliance (see why it was important that I corrected you the first time?) is provocation lmao. And you attack more. Ok really I'm out this time. Obvious troll is obvious.
