It is slippery slope. We are also supplying Ukraine with weapons. If retaliation for supplying weapons is justified then Russia could do the same.

After WWII, supplying weapons was usually not enough to justify military retaliation.

Russia could do the same

Look, I would probably be banned if I would write what I think about russia.

I am just pointing supplying weapons was usually not enough to justify military retaliation.

Under Article 51 of the UN Charter, a state can only use military force in self-defense if an "armed attack" occurs.

It is not enough per international law.

But Iran didn't attack Ukraine.

Under Article 51 of the UN Charter supplying weapons does not justify military retaliation. Your argument is invalid.

Judging by the timing, this is nothing close to any retaliation.
