That's exactly what Russia was counting on. Should we (by we, I mean the rest of the world) just let them annex whatever land they want, with no consequences or resistance?

There's no "whatever land". The war is going for a particular land with particular significance to Russia, similarly to Panama's significance to the US [1]

As Putin himself said, Russia has no borders, so the orcs' goal is to subjugate everyone.
What history does Russia have in Romania (it still occupies Transnistria)?
What history does Russia have in Crimea (orcs only became the majority because of the execution/expulsion of the natives https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Ethnic_P... )
> similarly to Panama's significance to the US
Why is it that Russians are the most jingoistic "Americans"? Whenever someone points out what Russia is doing, they immediately praise the US for doing a lesser version of the same thing.
If there's a similar significance does that mean you'll leave Ukraine afterwards?
> What history does Russia have in Romania (it still occupies Transnistria)?
It has the same common history with Carpathian Ruthenia land that Ukraine isn't willing to return to Hungary and Romania.

That's to show you that double-standards exist and that nobody seems to care as long as it serves their agenda.
Yeah why is it our problem?
Assuming you believe in honoring the alliance, it's a lot easier to provide Ukraine with ammunition than to let it fall and have to send American troops to fight in Poland/Romania/etc.
