What's preventing Ukraine from doing a hostile action against NATO triggering article 5 and be invaded by NATO to restore peace and stability?

@Eris @kreyren holy shit. I....what? this can't be a real person. can it?
@Eris @kreyren Mr Putin made it perfectly clear in his opening address to this conflict what would happen if "external interference" was to happen in Ukraine. "consequences the world has never seen" I believe would be the english translation.

@blackeyes @Eris what gives him the right to decide what happens in ukraine?

I did recognize the security concerns and both NATO and CSTO removed some of it's weapons to de-escalate and yet he still invaded..

@kreyren @Eris in the practical realm, Russia is the more powerful country so they make some of the rules for some of its neighbors. Also, they are a nuclear power and permanently on the Security Council.

10 years of bad decisions from everyone on all sides. this invasion was a foregone conclusion since at least december when russia asked us to not let Ukraine into NATO. I just don’t see how the people in charge on the US side thought Russia was just going to do nothing about Ukraine going with NATO.

@blackeyes @Eris Same argument can be applied from NATO that NATO is the more powerful alliance to maintain democracy of it's neighbors, but i do agree that this is a political failure on NATO side.
