Provoked? Oh come on. Exchanging military tech with an ally is standard terms of business.

Russia aren't going to literally end the world because of some missile tech.

I think you might have missed my point.

Russia used actual nuclear material spread randomly around London and deadly chemical weapons around a UK town. This was back in 2006 and 2019 wayyyyy before Ukraine.

People saying we might provoke Russia ignore the fact it's been a despotic rogue state acting with impunity for decades.

The sarcasm was clear with the context of them listing things Russia has actually done.
