For years now, pumping Ukraine full of weapons has been resulting in African countries getting pumped full of weapons. I cannot say for sure that certain African revolutionary movements are getting them, but western forces and their proxies aren't buying off the black market. The US seems to making just about every possible miscalculation and I'm not sure they even have the self awareness to hesitate.
Russia providing something like Iskanders to Yemen would be qualitatively different from things that float around on the black market.
Oh, absolutely. I just question the western military hubris that keeps backing itself into a corner where the only option they're willing to consider is increasing escalation.
It's pretty funny to watch honestly.
