How is counter attacking an aggressor's military targets "escalation" ?

    Because anything that isn't "Ukraine rolls over and gives Russia everything," is escalation. Obviously.

    Nevermind that Russia is the aggressor who invaded another country and has been continually escalating the level of violence they're using. Anything other countries do to help Ukraine is seen as prolonging the war, and anything that Ukraine does to fight back is called escalation.
