There is nothing unilateral in two imperialist powers fighting. Just like there was nothing unilateral in WW1 or WW2.

Sure, the start of World War 2 was very multilateral: Poland wanted not to get invaded, Nazi Germany and the USSR both disagreed.

The parallels with the current situation are left up to the reader.

What about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement

Do you really think that WW2 happened over whether Poland would be invaded? I think you are confusing cause and effect.

Same as thinking that WWI happened due to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
