It’s so fucking dumb that Ukrainians didn’t mine their border out of fear that it would look bad on the world stage.

They really got played for fools by the people who now withhold help from them.

Remember when they were promised protection for de-nuclearization? I bet they feel pretty stupid now for getting rid of nukes and not setting up robust border defenses.

Hopefully, we can remember this and cite it in the future whenever a nation is in a similar position.
