If you watched Russian troops move into Belarus for “exercises” after surrounding Ukraine and didn’t expect the invasion we got, I really don’t know how you reached that conclusion. Troops in Belarus means Kyiv is in the crosshairs. How could it have meant anything less? 1/3
This matters because all these idiotic debates about Putin just “trying to extract concessions” (which concessions exactly?) delayed the arming of Ukrainian forces. They could’ve been in a much better position if this was taken seriously like it should have been. 2/3
What was there to lose by arming Ukraine? What problems would it have caused as Russia denies they wanted to invade? Would it matter if it was seen as a provocation. I doubt it. 3/3
