Again, irrelevant. And for a guy who bemoans being held responsible for the sins of previous generations you are very quick to play that card against someone else.

Just that you have far less interests there, than they have.
If you send arms to Canada, the Russians can say that you have no justification to demand that they shall not arm the opposition in Canada? The first question would be: what business do they have in Canada? None. Like you have none in the Ukraine.

That's a really poor analogy. A much better one would be whether the Russians have the right to send arms to the Canadian government if we Americans have occupied then annexed Montreal and are now militarily supporting separatist armies as they advance into the rest of eastern Canada. I'd say in that instance the Canadians have the right to get help from anyone they want.

And if you ignore them too severely, what you get as a consequence is big, big wars.

Or maybe you don't play Nevile Chamberlain and you stare down tyranny to win freedom for millions. The Berlin Airlift for instance? By your theory we should just have let the whole city fall to the Russians, after all Berlin is a lot closer to Russia than it is to the US right?
