indirect aid is one thing, directly killing russian troops is another

on the other hand, if the un or nato did it...we could say they just got in the way...sort of

true, however, there is nato and the arab league, although they are likely weak reeds

Russia is on the security council, they could veto anything without even needing help. They'd be in the same situation the US was in with Iraq, the UN has no power to stop a large country, because most large countries run the UN.

It's become a fig leaf to hide behind, saying its the will of the UN, while you do whatever you wanted to do in the first place.
