You miss the point.

The US is supplying:
-the long range weapons
-the training
-the Sat imaging for targeting
-the grunt Ukrainians are doing as told.

Now lets imagine that this was happening in our area.

That we invaded PNG (as we did East Timor) but for a longer sting ...lets say 28 months
(whatever the justification)

Now lets imagine that China was :
-supplying the PNG army with long range missiles capable of hitting Brisbane
-that China was providing PNG with the training
-that China was providing targeting via its Sat technology
-and that the PNG army was doing the grunt work.

Would we think that we were being attacked/counterattacked by PNG or China..mate?
