For all of these people saying the West should agree to not allow Ukraine into NATO, I have a question: if Putin can force our hand on that, why would he stop there?
Even if Ukraine signed documents never to join NATO, that would not change his behavior.

You do realize that telling Ukraine that it should never join NATO is a slap in the face of 1/3 of the alliance and suggests that none of Eastern Europe should be in NATO or the EU.
You do realize that centering France and Germany's thinking (and financial interests) over Eastern Europeans is offensive and discriminatory, right? If Eastern Europe wasn't in NATO, Russia would be threatening to attack Germany (again).
If you think Putin's demands should be respected, you pretty much are defending Eastern European racism. It makes sense because most white scholars who hold this view are very much about maintaining white power structures anywhere in the world.
