yes, russia is a shithole and ukraine is right to defend itself. but the west's "support" is nothing but shameful at this point: dripfeeding aid in too low quantities, then still managing to underdeliver and deliver too late, withholding aid to squabble internal politocs, and holding ukraine back over fear of escalation while russia doesn't give a damn anyway and just gets new partners to participate in their invasion against ukraine. so tell again why on fucking earth ukraine would want to join this west? have you not noticed that the only time ukraine had a good outcome was then they didn't give shit and just bombed russia into submission?! it worked when they destroyed the black sea fleet, and worked now when they bombed russia's energy infrastructure and forced them into negotiatons to stop bombing for each other doing that.  while the west has kept ukraine alive, they are also the ones that got them into this mess in the first place and the ones holding them back to win. ukraine is best served just to get nukes themselves, because we all know that western security guarantees mean jackshit at this point.
