I hate the 'the West prolongs the war by supplying weapons' take that I've also seen being uttered. Fuck right off, Russia prolongs the war each day they spend in Ukraine.

I somehow never hear anybody say that the allied countries prolonged WW2 by taking up arms against Germany. We even celebrate that fact each year. Mindboggling mental gymnastics on how we could do the same for another country, but now intervention is suddenly a bad thing.
