    My serious alternative is defend against invasion, don’t invade other countries.

    That wouldn’t help the opposition to the most prolific invader in the world in any way, and it would allow the aggressor to do whatever they want for longer.
    Your suggestion doesn’t even help in the best-case scenario where the aggressor loses, as the invaded state still has to go through a counter-offensive over all the same areas, except the aggressor now has more resources to fight with.

    So, this is not a serious alternative.

    Pre-empting invasion with your own invasion is some Israel in 1969 logic

    This is an extremely silly comparison, considering that Pissrael is literally a genocidal settler-colony and is on the side of/is part of the most prolific invader in the world, and is not opposed to it in any way.

      So, you think America is going to invade Russia, two nuclear armed nations? Or did you think a country the size of Ukraine was going to do it first? (maybe excluding invading Crimea). Why would Ukraine invade exactly?

        Firstly, going to note that you still have not produced a serious alternative (your previous suggestion is simply to give more advantages to the most prolific invader in the world) and are still avoiding the question of how a state should approach described aggression.

        So, you think America is going to invade Russia

        NATO has already admitted to have started the war with Russia on purpose, and NATO has been striking Russian civilians, and has done a failed invasion in the Kursk oblast.

        two nuclear armed nations?

        So, if a state has nukes, you consider it okay for NATO to attack them?

        Or did you think a country the size of Ukraine was going to do it first?

        This is a bizarre question, considering that Ukraine isn’t the sole de facto part of NATO, and isn’t even sovereign. It is wholly subjugated by NATO since 2014, and does not make its own decisions.
        Ukraine is also obviously not limited to the resources it would be limited to if it wasn’t a glorified NATO military base.

        Why would Ukraine NATO invade exactly?

        For the same reason NATO has been invading everywhere else, like in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Vietnam, Palestine, Korea, etc. - colonial subjugation of the rest of the world.

          You understand the concept of mutually assured destruction right?

          And what’s crazy about all those countries you’ve listed is none of them have nuclear arms.
