You’re mostly correct except Russia obviously doesn’t want to annex Ukraine, only the majority Russian parts that have been treated as second class citizens by Ukraine’s nazi government. If they annexed all of it, they’d only create larger problems for themselves in the borders with NATO members; keeping Ukraine neutral is the whole point (and is beneficial for everyone except arms dealers as you pointed out)

If you were alive in the Cuban missile crisis you’d be saying some wild stuff like “Turkey NEEDED those nukes!”
