Exactly, hence the reason why it was grossly stupid to pour weapons into the nationalists, in response to Putins build-up on the other side of the border. After that tooling up of the nationalists, the only way they could be stopped from genocide was to invade. That should have been obvious to us, if we all knew the history. The problem here seems to be that most US people don’t know the history, that thousands have died in Ukraine since 2014 in that slow war. Imagine the US pouring a pile of weapons into the IRA during the troubles in Ireland, and we start to get the idea. What would we, the UK have done in that situation? We would have gone in with massive force to disarm, before the IRA could get trained up on the weapons. I hope my valued friend Jared A. Brock might get some time to research the history, if it hasn’t already been censored by Google. “Asov battallion” should find it.
