Sure, send them weapons and supplies till the last woman and 18 year old get killed and there is nobody left to wield them as they're bombed to oblivion from the skies. Then go back to your ipad and pretend like you didn't watch and let it all happen.

You have to be really stupid to think this isn't going to embolden Putin. You have to be even dumber to think it's not going to happen again with another border country, at which point, we will be forced to enter WW3 at a disadvantage compared to where we are now.

Unless putin is dead, WW3 is coming, and right now we have a slight CHANCE china might not get involved due to how badly russia fucked this up. The same way we won't get involved. I don't think china is as decrepit as the russian forces were revealed to be.
