Far from it!

You’re getting your lesson reversed.

If no one is strong, there is no one to help the weak.

If one gives all their strength, then they are too weak to help anyone including themselves.

If Ukraine gave in to Russia, for example, then there would be no Ukraine, and a stronger and hungrier Russia.

Weakness breeds predators.

Strength gives options and an ability to actually help others from a place that isn’t predatory. A place that can be win-win.

Never actually helping anyone of course makes new enemies, and isn’t helping anyone either.

It’s a balance.
