Again, it's been said already, but you are reading into something that isn't there. Providing arms to a side that didn't have them is going to intensify the conflict. That's just the absolute cold hard reality of the situation. That's all that was being pointed out. Linking to early soviet era atrocities shows just how much you are reaching. The soviets were not discriminatory in who they killed, and very often included their own, such as the Great Purge, which happened before Holodomor. It was about resisting Sovietism.

> The soviets were not discriminatory in who they killed, and very often included their own Well, Ukrainians don't think so, and then Russians of today have even more unambiguous genocidal intentions towards them. Paraphrasing a (Russian) classic – these genocides have never happened before and yet again. Also, Wagners torture mobilized Russian soldiers just as gleefully as Ukrainian ones, but that does not mean that the genocidal intent is absolved, it just means that its the Russian way of doing things.
