But Ukraine is different. If Russia successfully invades and takes over Ukraine, Canada is at greater risk. For starters, once Ukraine falls, NATO's Eastern European members will be the next target, bringing Canada into a global war with Russia
a very short distance away from our northern border. And, the whole reason Canada has a post-WW2 military is to deter and if necessary kill Russians, which is why it's a good idea to supply all the weapons Ukraine needs. They're doing our intended job with our tools, but at no cost (yet?) in Canadian lives. There's no downside to helping Ukraine - these people are the heroes of 21st century Europe. And unlike Afghanistan, when the dust settles, Ukraine will quickly modernize, embrace western liberal democratic values and strive to contribute to the good of the world.
