The tragedy of what is being done to Ukraine is that it is in a position where if it retaliated and strikes inside Russia it will be accused of “escalating” which is one of the weird aspects of war these days; countries are just supposed to be attacked and fight in borders
If Ukraine acquired defensive weapons it was also seen as “provoking” and if it wanted to join NATO this was portrayed as “provoking”…basically anything Ukraine did was painting it into an unfair corner
The unprovoked attack on Ukraine is unfolding openly and there are no consequences for the airstrikes on Ukraine forces. Total impunity.
I saw the same logic about the invasion of Afrin, the people there were not allowed to defend themselves or they were “provoking” and attacks on them were impunity.
Also the attack on Armenia in 2020; total impunity and no one did anything. The world has given a blank check to countries to bomb and attack eachother.
