that's a bad-faith argument, it should instead be:

Do you really want to allow systematic killing of the opposition by current un-elected criminals holding on to power. Putin's intervention is not some kind of "hypothetical future danger or milestone in theoretic escalation" but has been fact since 1998.

Europe isn't going to do anything except sending their thoughts and prayers and direct intervention by the US is unthinkable (for now). Sending support (which includes arms, and mercenaries) is the only way that can protect the civilian population.

No, starting a civil war is exactly the wrong thing to do if you want to protect the civilian population.

that's pretty hyperbolic. it's not "starting a civil war" it's leveling the playing field against those who are already brutalizing the population.
