"if they start behaving as badly as Russians"
That's precisely why I'm pointing out the ethics of this. People like you think that defending yourself effectively from genocide and ensuring good people aren't killed is "behaving badly". I'm doing my part in shifting public opinion.
The fundamental issue you have is the suicidal empathy that's prevalent in left wing thinking. Just like the left thinks it's ethical to prioritize millions of low IQ, high violence, migrants from third world shitholes – destroying our communities in the process and getting woman raped and killed – you'd rather prioritize the lives of psychopathic Russians over Ukrainians (and ultimately, other Europeans and even Canadians in the future if Russia isn't defeated). It's also telling that you also seem to agree with left wing thinking on migration... It's the same phenomenon.
You don't win wars like this with purely defensive strategies. Russia can bomb Ukraine indefinitely with cheap drones if the Russian economy isn't collapsed. Equally, no matter how many weapons you give Ukrainian soldiers, they're still going to die in large numbers using them.
Destroying the Russian economy – which inevitably means killing large numbers of Russian "civilians" – is the strategy that minimizes the deaths of good people. I'm not willing to sacrifice the lives of Ukrainians for the sake of Russians.
Even in Gaza hundreds of IDF soldiers have died trying to defeat Hamas "humanely". The IDF has a far bigger military advantage over Hamas than Ukraine could ever have over Russia. Yet IDF soldiers are still dying in large numbers. It is absurd they international pressure forced Israel to send soldiers in on foot, dying in large numbers. Again, we have suicidal empathy, prioritizing the lives of scrumbags over good people.
