So you propose any invaded territory just concedes to prevent nuclear war? Would your opinion be the same if it was your homeland that was invaded?

Also, it's not clear what you're getting at... perhaps you can elaborate on your thinking?

That's the current "international order", represented by the UN security council. Borders stay where they are, except for: nuclear powers get to invade whoever they want, WITHOUT using nuclear weapons (and other nuclear powers get to support the invaded country with non-nuclear weapons). Exceptions can be granted by the UN security council, taking the veto system into account (so not for Ukraine)

It doesn't matter what I propose or not, this is the only international order we have, and the best one that has ever existed. And yes, I will agree with what Einstein said, namely that he's extremely disappointed in it.
