Like if someone gave someone a weapon and they were knowingly going to use it for it’s intended purpose, you would technically be an accomplice? So why is this different.
Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses! I appreciate it!

You’ve gotten a lot of good answers in here – I do want to add, though, that on the continuum between friendship and active war, giving weapons to a country’s enemy is waaaaaaay over on the war side. This isn’t really as binary as “going to war” or “not going to war” – arming Ukraine is very *close* to war.
Fundamentally, Russia can’t really do anything about it and NATO doesn’t want to get any more involved than they are. This is what’s called a proxy war.
