Hows "what all sovereign nations are perfectly entitled to do: choose their foreign relations, trade agreement and allies" works for Palestine, Cuba, Venezuela, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan...? And once again, we're back to hypocrisy and double standards of the For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law logic, and the reason for wars.
You are aware that Ukraine existed in that form before Putin right? Is everything fine in Taiwan/China, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Cuba, Mexico, China, Moldova, Georgia, Ireland, Scotland... and all other countries? Or you're proposing that a third-highest ranking US diplomat shows up in any of those countries with cookies and pushes them into wars too, you know as long as not everything is perfect with them? How many wars do you think can be started with such pretext? This logic can only have two logical outcomes, either a one world government or never ending wars, well i guess three, we can just kill each other with another world war. Are you invested in the military industrial complex by chance?
There's a huge jump between being an accomplice, a party to a conflict, and ok to bomb someone. The export only applies to advance weapons i.e. no one really controls Kalashnikovs exports around the world. If it's not just propaganda and they are proven to knowingly supply advance weapons to X, with which X attacks Y, then yes i do believe Y is justified to consider those countries to be part of a conflict to some extent.
In other news, looks like Israelis want Trump to be elected, so they're going to hit oil storage/production in Iran sending oil prices up, screwing Biden/Harris before elections, and indirectly helping Russian economy. Let's check with agent Boris on this

So, Iran, North Korea and China are accomplices of Ruzzia? Thus, since NK and Iran have provided ballistic missiles to Ruzzia according to your X.. Y ... Z ...theory they can now be nuked bombed or whatever?
Ukraine chose a government that wanted to take further steps to approach the European Union an the US. Putin could not live with it - it simply gives too many ideas to the rest of the nations under his foot. It is simple as it gets.
You still think it is all about cookies, but, as said many times, you cannot defend a country in the way Ukraine is defending just because someone gave - according to your theory = whatever incentives. In the end, to maintain a government, you need a level of support from the population, the army, the economic powers...
It is simply a conceptual error that a diplomatic visit and a few giveaways is all it takes to change the direction of a country.
It is time for you to start recognising that there were many mistakes before that in the way Putin was approaching the relations with Ukraine. Failing that, Ukraine could have never been looking somewhere else.And now, keep whatabouting... it is amusing to see how you defend Venezuela (particularly after simply ignoring the last elections result) or Scotland (which had a referendum not that long ago) or Taiwan??? Please, open threads on these, there is plenty of people in the forum from those countries who would love to post about them.
