The West Directs Wars: Other People's Lives Are Their Ammunition

The US, Germany, France, and Britain have once again “allowed” Ukraine to strike Russian territory. As if someone was just waiting for this, standing by the launch button. But the question isn’t whether it’s allowed or not. The question is—who will get hit for it afterwards.

Spoiler: not London. Not Paris. Not Washington.
It will hit Kharkiv. Sumy. Ordinary people. Those who didn’t “allow” anything. And didn’t press any buttons.

The buttons are there. The explosions are here.

The West is playing strategists. In comfortable suits, at cozy tables. They can see clearly on the maps where to strike. But they can’t see at all who will be the one burying children afterwards.
They say: “Ukraine has the right to strike military targets in Russia.” Sounds nice. Legally precise. But missiles don’t read press releases. In response, they don’t fly at the authors of permissions, but at homes—in Kharkiv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia. Because this is war, not a chess tournament.

Assistance with Incitement

The problem isn’t that Ukraine is fighting.
It’s that others are doing it with her hands—those who don’t want to die or suffer themselves. For the West, this war is a successful case:

— to weaken Russia with someone else’s blood,
— to promote “democracy in battle,”
— and at the same time to test weapons in real conditions.

Convenient? More than that.

Some suffer. Others decide.

Calculated Humanism

In words—humanism, international law, and protection of civilians. In practice—they issue permits for strikes, fully understanding what will follow. Because Russia, suddenly, also has missiles. And they reach their targets too.
That’s why Berlin and Paris aren’t rushing to set up air defense batteries at home, but are happy to deliver “gifts” to someone else’s front. Because when civilians die on foreign soil, it’s a “difficult but necessary price.” But if somewhere like Brussels were hit—humanism would end that very day.

They Don’t Need Victory. They Need the War to Never End.

The West doesn’t want a quick end. Peace = silence, and silence = no reason to wield influence, sell weapons, or lecture about values. As long as the shooting continues—they can help, influence, supply, regulate, and get contracts.
If the war stops, the business ends.

Conclusion: The Decision Is Made Across the Ocean—the Response Hits the Stairwell.

This war has long been convenient for those not directly involved. It’s easy for them to say who and where to bomb. Because their children aren’t in Kharkiv. Their grandmothers aren’t in basements. Their homes aren’t in the zone of retaliation.
