You are talking about 3 of the world's largest food producers... So good luck.
And no we didn't learn anything from WWI and WWII, because then we would know that Russia is really a sleeping bear. And they said when the Warsaw pact fell that the only thing was that NATO should not move closer to Russian borders... And now we have Aegis on land in Poland, not that far from the border, that can launch nuclear missiles and the Baltic States are all in NATO... Remember that a cornered animal will usually fight for their life. The same goes with China, and America saying that China can't claim the South China Sea because it's too far from mainland China, or about 1/10 of the distance from mainland US to Guam, or 1/25 of the distance to get to America's base Diego Garcia. Or when the news screams about Chinese planes in Taiwan's ADIZ... that is an American brainchild that goes over 300km in over mainland China and way beyond Taiwan's national airspace... It's like if we in Sweden would complain every time a Norwegian airplane flying closer to the border than Bergen or if the Mexicans would start complaining every time an American airplane flies South of Las Vegas...

The idea of "we can't do anything about it" comes from people living in countries ruled by dictatorship. The first days of the war everyone in the whole world said, Ukraine is Russia in a couple days. Boy they were wrong.
If we as Swedish people would lay down and stop fighting for our freedom and peace, we wouldn't be where we are today.
The idea of being afraid of nuclear war is something russians wants u to fear. But everybody knows very well that everyone is f:Ed if nukes start being used. However using the argument of fear should never be grounds for giving up.
