Also, I find it hard to believe that at this point any major Russian company is allowed to be aligned with Ukraine, let alone have an intelligence sharing with them.
Anyway, Russia as a country decided to invade a neighbour, attack their infrastructure, etc. "Sow the wind reap the whirlwind".
As for the rest, I sure do hope one north american country that invaded countless countries over the last 25 years will one day reap all the whirlwind it could. Maybe they should start building wind turbines, I dunno.
Regarding the rest, every action has consequences. The country you seem to referring to seems to already have paid in different ways and continues to do so. It's just how it works.
But this thread isn't about North American countries, it's about Russia, which decided to break treaties and borders they themselves recognized, to conquer a neighbour by force. While I see this as a huge waste, I can't really be mad at those defending themselves. And from the moment Russia decided to attack civilian infrastructure (eg: power generation, especially in winter, before Ukraine had these long range capabilities) then their own infrastructure becomes fair play. Maybe they shouldn't have done that? Not too late to stop though.
That whirlwind quote, apparently it's from the bible, so it's not new wisdom. But when in the context of war, I'm always reminded of a 1942 Arthur Harris quote:
> "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."
Now, Harris wasn't exactly a nice guy. Under his command, the RAF Bomber Command levelled a few German cities with people in them. But what he said (and did) is something leaders should keep in mind before starting wars. Those who don't, risk ending up with Yandex data centres in flames.
