    Countries are going to act in their own best interests. If it benefits them why wouldn’t they?

        They would be conducting business with another party. It would serve their economic interests to supply and train other groups.

        Again, I hope they aren’t but they seem to be the dominant power in the drone business. Thankfully they are fucking up Russian forces with it but, the tides of war can change and they (like any nation) could have interests that don’t align with international peace.

        I hope I’m wrong with my hunch.

          The amount of money they’d receive from selling drones to some rebels would be tiny compared to the reputational loss and diplomatic issues they’d have if they did it. A country that is fighting for its survival cant afford to have international diplomacy problems just to get some tens or hundreds of thousands of drone selling money. Especially when you consider that a lot of their foreign fighters are from Colombia and they have considerable support from Colombians.

          Your hunches are, sorry to be so blunt, completely moronic and quite ignorant.

            I accept how hair brained it may sound. I just know Ukraine is doing very well up against a super power, may they continue to do so.

            They have the capabilities to supply and train others. Will they? Dunno.

              Ukraine is indeed doing well. But russia is not a superpower, never was. There was a time when the Soviet Union was a superpower, for a while. But that was in the 1960s, maybe a bit in the 1970s.

                I like to believe there was a transitionary period where Russia was a super power. Maybe its my failing memory but, they were a near peer to the united states not too long ago. Now the united states isn’t even a super power so theres that.

                Alls I’m saying is times are changing and nations can make the wrong decision.
