We may take on the views of others in many ways. However it is difficult to have such conversations when a neighbor breaks into your friends house or blatantly invades a neighbor’s country.
The cases you cited are cases of attunement to the wrong spheres of thought. In that case of course we won't engage in a metaphysical discussion with the invader. What we should do though is to devise the best defense strategies, according to the proper spheres of thought.
In the case of Russia, Putin and most nationalists are attuned to the sphere of thought of government-seizing and highly destructive war. The western alliance was not able to attune to the diplomatic sphere of thought and avoid the war. That's a serious drawback in a way. However the NATO alliance attuned to other spheres of thought which were not brutally destructive, like economic sanctions and financial and military aids. This sphere of thought was only partially successful, since economic sanctions, like many foresaw, have had little effect, whereas the military and financial aid are very useful but didn't stop the war which is dragging along.
