Ah yes, the standard Tik Tok / social media reply I see every day from bots, conspriacy theorists and fans of the right and Putin, almost to the letter.
I've replied to a few, but it gets boring. Hitting Russia where is hurts for what they've done is a side affect, lets call it a nice added bonus especially how clear it is how they have proven themselves happy to go into many countries the last decade and destroy every living thing. But it's not the reason why we are arming Ukraine, that is as has always been to help them stop being slaughtered and completey taken over (by force) by Russia, and try to push Russia back out of Ukraine since it won't negotiate (you can argue they say they will but the starting terms of negotiation are not acceptable to anyone).
They won't do anything if we supply Tanks. Their Nuclear threats are what they are - threats. We know the doctrine. Nobody is going to start properly having a go at proper Russian territory because nobody has any interest (nor ever had) in invading Russia. Now the west has weaned itself off Russian gas and oil, it is irrellevant in the world stage militarily and economically. It's entirely their choice to be welcomed back but it starts with withdrawing from Ukraine soverign territory and internationally recognised borders.
