I wasn't judging Ukraine for attacking Russia. I was pointing out that they have recently been bringing the war, fighting inside of Russia. All the way to Moscow now. Thanks to new toys.
My point is it escalates by backing crazy Putin more into a corner. At some point, when he feels back upped, no way out. He has 2 alternatives. Quit ( aint gone happen) or fire off a nuke at Kiev.
To your other point about Palestinians fighting back. That's my take, after October 7th, Israel has every right to fight back against Iran expansion through its Proxies. They started this with Israel on October 7th. You had peace and quit October 6th
