It's like the West help disarm Ukraine for a Russian invasion. Now they're doing a poor job of helping Ukraine maintain its freedom by not providing the types of weapons that kept it safe in the first place. What a lesson for any country (Iran/N.Korea, etc) being encouraged to stop chasing a Nuclear deterrent. If I were an Asian nation right now, I would be pursuing a Nuclear Weapon with every resource I have since any security guarantees are bullshit..

It's amazing how hard the West worked to disarm Ukraine and the quiet arms embargo they had against the country since 2014. Ukraine couldn't buy a bullet from the West to defend themselves with. It's sad now that the West acts as if it so righteous and amazing for sending arms to Ukraine while they were the ones who caused the entire war by funding Putin with 100's of billions and basically hampering Ukraine in every way they could.

There should be a book about it to make sure it becomes historical record, a shame the collective West should carry.
