Ukraine is a sandbox that everyone is watching with a lot of interest, and the longer it goes, the more interesting it will get (see Syria, Gaza, Yemen, etc.).
The lesson I got is that there is no justice just strength
Justice comes from solidarity. The weak banding together against the strong.
That means if you want justice you have to participate in getting it because tomorrow it will be your own weakness that's taken advantage of.
The core problem preventing achieving justice is the collective action problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem
The collective action problem is the strong's greatest tool for keeping themselves from being held to justice.

Israel fought a few thousand poorly trained and poorly armed guys, the outcome was predictable. How would they fare if an enemy could deploy 10k drones per day at them indefinitely? Or send 100's of drones with 5kg warheads nightly at civilian targets for months at a time, probably not well...no one could.
