    giving arms for Ukraine would provoke and not deter

    This rationale is given time and time again for why we shouldn’t have supported Ukraine and every time it’s completely false.

    Hopefully people can learn from this history and not make the same mistakes in the past.

    Ukraine should’ve mined the shit out of their border with Russia.

      Exactly, but hindsight is 20/20. What I wanted to show was that a lack of support for Ukraine was then a win for Russia. But even more so now, that a lack of full continuous support for Ukraine today is just another win for Russia.
