I didn't say it wasn't, despite your' assumption that I didn't know that. You know what I meant in my post but you can't resist the impulse to...whatever. Knock yourself out.
The difference is tha this conflict is on Russias border.
Ben Wallace: UK to send Ukraine armoured vehicles fitted with launchers
The UK will send Ukraine a "small number of armoured vehicles fitted with launchers" for anti-air missiles to help in its fight against Russian forces.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace made the announcement this afternoon in the House of Commons - his first update to MPs in almost seven weeks.
He also told the House approximately 15,000 Russian personnel have been killed since the start of the invasion at the end of February.

The difference is that this conflict is on Russias border. Weapons and munitions supplied by the West can be used to target Russia directy. Vietnam and Korea were not on the USA's border. If they had been the US would have declared war on Russia.
Vladimir Putin says a pro-Ukrainian cell was planning to assassinate a leading Kremlin propagandist using a car bomb.
The Russian president claimed the intelligence services had uncovered a plot to kill Vladimir Solovyev, one of the most recognisable pro-government TV spokespeople in the country.
He said a neo-Nazi group had been recruited to carry out the attack in Moscow.
Mr Putin accused Western intelligence agencies of supporting it but offered no further evidence about the plot.
The Interfax news agency said that members of a ‘nationalist’ group had been detained

No. They couldn't invade the Isle of Wight judging by current events.
Putin is an insane Muppet surrounded by scared "yes men".
A series of blasts tore through the ministry of state security in the capital of Moldova's breakaway region of Transdniestria, Russian state news agency TASS reported on Monday, citing a local television station.
There were no reports of casualties.
Unverified pictures on local media showed the windows and doors of the building blown out.
Downing Street says claims aired on Russian state TV that Prime Minister Boris Johnson threatened to carry out a unilateral nuclear strike against Russia are untrue.
The baseless claim was made on 60 Minutes, a chat show on the state-run Rossiya 1 TV channel last Friday. Presenter Olga Skabeyeva said over video of the UK prime minister's visit to India: “Yesterday, this clown [Boris Johnson] threatened to carry out a nuclear strike against Russia, if needed, without consulting Nato.” A statement from the No 10 press office said that “these claims are completely untrue and yet another example of disinformation peddled by the Kremlin”. “The UK government is entirely united with its Nato allies in supporting Ukraine against Russia’s illegal invasion,” the statement concluded.
Apart from Skabeyeva, the quote has been circulated by Dmitry Rogozin, head of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency, who tweeted a similar statement to his 800,000 followers the previous day; as well as TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov, who also posted it on Telegram to his more than one million followers.
The accusation has also gathered pace on pro-Kremlin social media channels and news websites, with one version featuring an apocalyptic view of London in flames, being viewed nearly half a million times. In some cases, the claim comes with a counter-claim from several popular Russian Telegram channels that it was “fake news” planted by Ukraine to discredit Russia.
However, the earliest mentions of the so-called British nuclear threat that the BBC was able to find were carried on pro-Russian social media channels.
