That’s right Russia was a greater threat, a threat that was defeated, and broken, and now you are supporting them rebuilding by reconquering.
You are basackwards when you say that they have neither the will or the means to take us on long term, that is EXACTLY the opposite of the reality, as we are right this minute discussing their current military operations as part of the process of displaying that will, that goal, and to reestablish those means.
Small scale conflicts, sure they can handle. But large scale prolonged war is not sustainable for them. They knew it during the cold war and know it now.
And sure they are trying to regain territory lost and if Ukraine can hold them off, good for them.
However, should we support every country or group that opposes Putin, no matter their disposition?
Sure, Ukraine says they are pro-west because most there don’t like Putin and he is stomping on them. Who wouldn’t say that?
Then after we stop supporting them they will turn into another corrupt dictatorship.
