well that is your own mindset, i am not going to say right or wrong here as geopolitics is messy.
i just considered that our country could be very well in the same position, and by ASEAN comparison our military might is not among the highest.

for me that is why Ukraine should win for the benefit of Malaysia and all other smaller countries. it remove the precedent that a smaller country can be invade, taken over, by a stronger country is alright.

imagine if last time the world says its okay, Nazi can take over Europe and stop there and Japan can take over stop one third of China and stop there. i am pretty sure wars wouldn't have stop there.
