> but "to avoid being defeated by evil we must become evil ourselves" is not really the point Well the world is not black and white. > For things like chemical weapons we have treaties banning it There was a treaty Russia signed (along with US, UK etc.) which guaranteed Ukrainian Independance back in the 90s.
