Isn't that the exact problem? If you offer no opinion about the Russian invasion, then any points you make about the conflict are moot. You either support the invasion or you don't, it really is that black & white. The Western military corporate machine will aim to profit from any conflict where they can and is orthogonal to the legitimacy of Ukraine to defend its internationally sanctioned borders.
The real problem here is not the West driving the conflict through arms & intelligence support, it is the apathy of the West to intervene when Crimea was occupied. A sort of Sudetenland analog.
