I don't believe they have any rights to invade any countries, including Ukraine. But I also don't believe in joining a war against a country that invaded another country just because "you think they might not stop at that".
If you join a war against somebody that never attacked you in the first place, you are an aggressor, regardless of what they did to others.
I am not really sure if there is some hidden agenda in your logics but I think there is.
I thought it started to show when you mentioned that Russia being interested in borders of USSR. But then you backtracked from it.

That would be crazy, wouldn't it? Any bigger country could just attack any neighbor and all other would just continue as if nothing happened? In your mind Russia can just attack e.g. Estonia and everybody should just ignore it? Basically you are not agreeing to it but it is a thing between Estonia and Russia only.
You are either Russian troll or just consumed too much Russian propaganda. Just listen to yourself.
Everybody should just continue trading with Russia because it is the best for their citizens.
Russia invading other countries is just between Russia and victim country.
If any other country is against aggressor they are "involving citizens into war". They should vote if they want to involve into war.
Geography is not important for you. You are ignoring anything I say about Russian rhetoric.
Classic whataboutism "look at Iraq". As if somehow Iraq justifies Russian aggression.
I don't think you are "let's just trade with Russia because it is the best for us". You are just pro-Russia and that's it.
Dude, Estonia is NATO, so that is a very different story. NATO would definitely have to intervene. Not that I agree with that either, but I guess it is part of some contract.
You are the one who came up with the "borders of USSR" theory, and I agreed in that I couldn't care less if they took over Ukraine or some of the -stans. As long as they leave my country alone, which was not part of the USSR, it is none of my business what wet dreams Putin has. That is where I draw my line in the sand. So no, I didn't "backtrack".
The argument with Iraq is a valid one because what you are saying is essentially that the same rules would not apply to one aggressor (the US) and another one (Russia). So it is you, my friend, who has been consuming too much propaganda, I am afraid.
A troll or not a troll, terrible person either way :D

Maybe this says everything. Must be really naïve or shortsighted if thinking like this. You would just trade with some serial killer as long as the price is right and he doesn't kill you. At least as long as you pay for the goods.
