Where did i advise appeasement? Its a different story poking the bear though when a massive army is sitting on your border and no one practically wanting to help you. So get real.

No one poked the bear. No one attacked Russia.

This is pure Tsarish Imperialism

If Ukraine wants to join NATO (if they are invited) and they don't because they are afraid of Putin, that would be appeasement.

That's what you are advising them.

If you aren't rubbing yourself raw for a war with Russia, you're a Putin supporter. Childish I know but that seems to be the thinking.

I simply recognize the fact that we're on the verge of collapse ourselves and don't need any more welfare states. As far as I'm concerned, any pushback on Russia from us should be in our own hemisphere where Russia is making gains with no response. Pushback there should come from the EU.
