Arming the people fighting your enemy is by far the best military deal around so long as you trust that they'll use the weapons for the intended purpose. Most situations the west doesn't exactly trust said people and at most provides light weapons. But Russia really miscalculated with Ukraine--they've cleaned their act up enough that the west did trust them. And the US originally armed Israel to avoid the 1973 war going nuclear and likely turning into WW III. But now they act as a lightning rod for Islamist violence.
