Zero threat to a dictator threatening its neighbour. NATO is probably the same.

The problem is that WWII and the lessons we learned from it faded into generational memory.
The lesson wasn't learned to the point they would resound in our bones.
We are more akin to the Chamberlain era right now where the world had assumed that Hitler/Putin could be appeased and his moves for lebenstraum (living space) predicated on nonsense about protecting German speaking people in other countries (Russian minorities in the two Ukranian regions that Putin recognized independence for) were all from the same playbook.
This is a dangerous game and we are seeing the first major modern 21st century warfare between 1st world nations play out.
