But was this ever a question? The problem was if they can use "gifted" weaponry for this purpose.

By international law they can use weapons supplied by other nations even for long range strikes into Russia yes, to my knowledge it's just a gentleman's agreement that they follow the terms of the nation supplying them. Not really a point of contention though as it would be idiotic to violate those terms at risk of not being supplied anymore.
The only point of contention is whether supplying nations should decide to allow strikes into Russia with their equipment because Russia continues to threaten that it would see that as an act of war from the supplying nation. So legally nothing wrong with it but you have to weigh that decision with possibility of starting World War III or a nuclear apocalypse.
Of course they do. That's what happens when you invade someone, the someone you invade also hits back at you.
Same applies for Palestinians, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. You'd be totally fine with that.
right? right?
Absolutely! Imperialism is bad when Russia does it, and when American/Israel does it.
Nonono you're not supposed to have principles, you're supposed to just pick sides instead otherwise 'what about USA' won't work as a gotcha. Just think of the poor tankies, whatabout USA is all they have, would you really tankie that away from them?
In fact this is basically the only way for the war to end. By capturing Russian territory Russia now has a reason to come to negotiations to just call everything off to get their land back.
Russia is just lucky the land is tied down or the farmers would have towed it back home...
Every war is weird it's own way, but that thing is probably unprecedented. How can a war-torn country fight having one hand strapped to the back with a country having 4x it's population and resources? And still managing to resist after 2,5 to 10 years of warfare? Imagine that in fiction and you'd call it unbelievable.
Even if it results in Russia retaliating against the west? Hopefully there's an end to it all before then
Two and a half years into a 3 day invasion and Russia wants to attack NATO countries in retaliation for Ukraine using weapons gifted to them at their full capabilities after themselves receiving additional weapons from Iran they use without restraint? It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.
Yea, I'm sure it won't work out for them, but you never know how desperate Putin can be. People say that he's crazy but not stupid, but to wage war against the west after struggling with Ukraine? Yea, it'd be a bold strategy indeed
