...
very vague question you have going here.
Because Russia won't stop with Ukraine if they win there. They will continue with the Baltic countries after that. Why will they do it? Because Putin is insane.
Remember 'peace in our time'? Will our politicians be as infamous?
Also, how will China look at their prospects with Taiwan if Russia is allowed to win?
Essentially, accept what we have to deal with now or face much worse in the future.
Don't believe me? Are you perhaps related to Chamberlain?

If you want to start a debate, it's better to put some more time in the initial statement, but ok.
Imagine how Putin's pillaging, threats and thieving would go if he didn't have nukes. His antics wouldn't last three days. Once you see that, you see what's going on here. It's simply a nuclear armed robbery. So he's using Russia's nuclear arms offensively.
That kind of behavior literally(!) threatens the entire world we live in. As such, he must be stopped. To answer your question, this concerns every living being, which includes "every man".

They came first for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for Catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

An oldie but a goldie. We could update the groups, adding journalists, writers, intellectuals and scientists.

To point out that territorial expansions is a thing of the past.
The Ukrainian borders was recognized and accepted by all parties involved in the current war.
Not to mention that the vast majority of independent Nations across the globe, also recognized the Ukrainian borders way back in 1991. (Including both Russia and the Soviet Union)

I could agree with the prediction, but not with the reason.
Look at history. Not even history, just the world map. Russia has always sought more and more expansion. From the time of the tsars, to the Soviet Union, to Putin, Russia has always been the same.
When WWII is studied, there is significant attention oriented towards Hitler, but Stalin is barely mentioned despite the fact that he did no less than Hitler, and it was not less horrifying either.
Putin is just succeeding his predecessors.
The only thing that changed with the war on Ukraine is the media's stance. Russia has previously had very strong propaganda. I love George Orwell's preface to his book "Animal Farm" where he talks about censorship of speech against Stalin... in England. Right now it's the opposite story.
Sorry, that's not very well worded.

Well the real reason that Russia is in Ukraine right now is to keep them out of NATO. If a country is at war, they cannot join NATO, so Russia invaded to keep that from happening. Tbh, I don’t think Russia has any intention to keep going “after” Ukraine, or any real intention to even take over Ukraine. Of course, most people will disagree with this reasoning, however I would think Russia really doesn’t care about taking over Ukraine.
