> Not taking my side with Russia or Hamas on this, by saying that US is actually "aggressor here".

Seems you're overlooking that Putin is attacking Ukraine, and that Ukraine defends itself.

You're saying that helping a country _defend_ itself is aggression.

That's like saying [a company that provides weapons to police who stops an active shooter], is an aggressor. -- It's not the right time to say that, when it's about _defending oneself_.

Had the US been exporting weapons to _Putin_, what you wrote would make sense.

In some cases, the US does such things (and many other countries, incl Russia and China). But this time you got it backwards, when you call the defenders for "aggressors".
