    Because they do the right thing this time. What is wrong with helping a country defend itself from an agressor? I know the US does and has done shitty things, that does not mean that everything the US does is bad.

        What makes you think that’s the case? It looks like the ukrainians would rather fight russia instead of being conquered again.

          Because Ukraine is going to lose, and funding them only leads to a longer war and enables them not to negotiate.

          And its easy to say they would rather fight, but the question you should look up is; how many people are conscripted in their army?

            I remember this episode of DS9. The genetically enhanced humans do the math and figure out by surrendering to the Dominion the Federation would save billions of lives not fighting a war they never had a hope of winning.

            But, spoilers, the Federation did win the war in the end. And the genetically enhanced super smart humans who mathematically proved surrender and submission was the best strategy were kept locked up like weird little freaks.
