I agree with the sibling that you are reading things into OP's comment that aren't there.
OP isn't saying anything about the validity or wisdom of supplying arms to Ukraine. They're talking about Sudan, and how no one is interested/non-busy enough to supply their warring parties with weapons -- coincidentally, because of the war in Ukraine.
(FWIW, I absolutely agree with your points: while the Western supply of arms to Ukraine has certainly intensified the conflict, the alternative is that Ukraine would have been fully occupied by Russia a long time ago. But I don't believe OP was taking a stance on that at all.)
I think you and parent are reading things into the comment that isn't there.
On one axis, there's volume and sophistication of arms.
On another axis, there's culpability, righteousness, and what comes after.
No requirement to intermingle the two. Examples of genocide aren't germane to the observation that heavier weapons increase the intensity of civil war conflicts. That's why UN arms embargoes have historically always been a first step.
Again, it's been said already, but you are reading into something that isn't there. Providing arms to a side that didn't have them is going to intensify the conflict. That's just the absolute cold hard reality of the situation. That's all that was being pointed out.
Linking to early soviet era atrocities shows just how much you are reaching. The soviets were not discriminatory in who they killed, and very often included their own, such as the Great Purge, which happened before Holodomor. It was about resisting Sovietism.

Well, Ukrainians don't think so, and then Russians of today have even more unambiguous genocidal intentions towards them. Paraphrasing a (Russian) classic – these genocides have never happened before and yet again.
Also, Wagners torture mobilized Russian soldiers just as gleefully as Ukrainian ones, but that does not mean that the genocidal intent is absolved, it just means that its the Russian way of doing things.
