When you sell weapons to your ally who then uses those weapons against your enemy, that's not hypocrisy. When your ally later turns those weapons against another one of your allies, or against his own people, then you have a responsibility to take back those weapons.

Oh now I see. we have a
responsibility.
But I'm not sure what definition of hypocrisy makes "not attacking people you actively support" hypocritical.
