>fighting poorest country in the Europe

You are conveniently forgetting ~400 billion dollars[0] of Western military and economic aid to the Ukraine which is ~60% of the Lend-Lease program[1] during the last World War. So in some way this war is comparable to the WW2 with the Germany being on the wrong side of history again.

400 billion dollars and it's like 5% of actual Western capacity. Imagine how obliterated Russia would get if West actually tried! I really wish that Western world would finally start giving ACTUAL support and not just drip. Russia has been meddling with world peace for far too long, even before you've invaded Ukraine you kept meddling with elections and stirring uncertainty all around the world. Defending against unprovoked Russian aggression absolutely is being on the right side of history. It's a shame that country with history of so many great figures has become such a cesspool.


>Imagine how obliterated Russia would get if West actually tried!

Now you might ask yourself a question why the west hasn't tried. Like maybe the West doesn't want to be obliterated itself in the nuclear war.

>Russia has been meddling with world peace for far too long, even before you've invaded Ukraine you kept meddling with elections and stirring uncertainty all around the world.

You need to look in the mirror before accusing Russia of anything.

Maybe start by reading how the US meddled in Russian elections[0].

Imagine how comical it is to hear accusations that Russia somehow meddled in Western elections after such blunt intervention by Americans in Russian elections.
