  1. Yup. Ukraine's right to self-defence is enshrined in the UN Charter, while Russia's territorial expansion by military means is explicitly condemned in the very same document. By the way, Western arms manufacturers are flogging their kit to India like never before. Should we stop if India once again becomes a victim of Pakistani or Chinese military aggression?

  2.  @tlp3482  US occupies Syria? You mean the Russian forces there are prisoners of war?

  4.  @amitnaik1122  Newsflash. Your arms manufacturer friends in Russia can't deliver. Russian arms exports have ground to a halt. The Russians need every bit of kit themselves. Also, what they have hasn't performed that well on the battlefield.

  5.  @danielbb8570  Why? Ukraine is fighting the good fight. We can support them any way we please.

  6.  @iROChakri  What facts suggest Russia is defending itself, and against whom in particular and when? For your info, it's Russia that started the war. Russia has been rightfully condemned for its war of aggression at the UN. Get that fact straight.

  7.  @iROChakri  Russia is defending a make-believe Russian Empire, which came to an inglorious end more than a century ago. So, you couldn't specify which acts of aggression Russia has been subjected to, and by which Western powers. You were alluding to facts. Present them already. And no, "the world except the West" is not defending Russia as it pleases. Pariah states Belarus, Eritrea, North Korea and Syria are, and that's 4 out of 193 countries. Practically the entire world is the West, or you're plain wrong.

  8. What do you make of WW2-era Katyushas then?

  9. Yup, that is amusing, because Ukraine is not an aggressor. Russia and, by proxy, Iran are.

  10.  @eyaklen4804  Uh, all nations expend expiring weapons first. Often, they're replaced by the same make and model. If anyone, Russia should know this, because they still produce Soviet-era weaponry, or Soviet-era weapons with minimal modernisations. NATO, not so. And I wouldn't say a direct conflict between Russian and NATO would be entertaining, but it would be "no fair", as a petulant child would put it.
