Russia invades Ukraine {2022-02-24} (Part 1)

But they are still magnitudes larger than Ukraine’s military and for all the help the world is sending them (which all combined is still less than what they themselves have stolen from the Russians in the past few weeks) we are not sending them any troops, and they will run out before Russia does.

Excuse me - if Ukraine is using equipment abandoned by the Russians as they panic and run away that is NOT stealing.

Likewise, capturing enemy equipment after a battle is NOT stealing.

Ukraine has stolen NOTHING from Russia, whereas Russia has stolen land, lives, living children, and everything their soldiers could loot.

Their record seems best when the rest of the world takes a hands off approach and leaves Russia to bumble its way through to a bloody victory on its own terms.

When was that?

I would argue WWII might be an example. Certainly, the West didn’t object to the Soviets fighting the Nazis and it was awful bloody.
