"The US gave them weapons to attack Russia." <- ftfy.

The USA, which arms well known fascist totalitarian-authoritarian dictators engaged in actual genocide, is doing absolutely the wrong thing. US' arms exports are a significant cause of war and calamity across the globe - not safety and security. War, and calamity.

If the US were building roads and water treatment plants across the globe, instead of bombing them - then your claim that it is doing the right thing might have some substance. But, it isn't. The only thing the US builds on foreign nations' soils, is illegal dark CIA torture bases.

You see, this line of thinking works both ways ..

This would only make sense if Ukrainians were suicidal enough to actually even consider attacking Russia. Yet, in spite of massive attacks on civil houses and infrastructure, there is nothing comparable on the part of Ukraine. They attacked very few targets on Russian soil, and as far as I can tell, these were only military targets, and attacked only after Russia started the war.

One would have to be either delusional or paranoid to think Ukraine wanted to attack Russia. The only thing these folsk wanted is to stay as far away from the Russian regime as possible. Unfortunately, they weren't allowed to.

When you consider yourself a minority and you are convinced you will be wiped out and are thus desperate, it is not uncommon for highly courageous acts to be made.

There are no hard black/white lines in this spectacle.

I challenge you to differentiate between attacking a nation, and attacking a nations citizens, and justify those legislative positions which allow this difference to be attained, across a spectrum of international sovereign nations' own laws on the protection of their citizens.

It is specious to assume, for example, that the USA are the only nation that would bomb other countries in order to protect their citizens' interests.

Other nations do it, too.
