    Tbh yes but I think as long as EU countries still send then weapons it feels like a hollow gesture that distracts from the real issues. Russia is being sanctioned and has generally been disconnected from the rest of Europe in many ways, meanwhile Israel can just genocide palestine and get some stern words.

    It’s sad, but sadly not actually inconsistent with general foreign policy.
