    There will be violence in Ukraine regardless of whether weapons are sent there or not. The second option will make it so there’s noone to police the russians. Pretty much like palestinians can’t do much about israelis slaughtering them.

      NATO had buit the largest of any European armies there and they were slaughtering the ethnic Russians, nobody was crying about policing them were they?

        So what you meant to say is: "I think

        NATO had buit the largest of any European armies there and they were slaughtering the ethnic Russians, nobody was crying about policing them were they?

        But I have no sources other than my thoughts to support this view."

          I’m saying this is not some secret and verifiable fact. They had 600K and a few100k reserves.
          Far more than England, France or whoever. Also the most tanks and everything else except navy.
          Even with all the nATO help and training it didn’t go too well so they used the Minsk accords to arm even further.
          Merkel admitted this, it is clear they never intended to honor it.
          Reports from the OCSE show how they continuously broke the ceasefire.
          Just before Russia intervened they reported 100’s of bombings.
          98% on the ukro site.
          Maybe learn to look something up, or don’t and keep making snooty remarks bcs you don’t want to see the truth.

        Ugh, the crying about NATO armies. “They were about to get too strong to attack, so Russia had to attack before they got completely too strong to attack.” Yeah, okay vlad
