Not saying Putin’s right but it’s not so black and white, the truth is always in that grey area people tend to avoid cos it’s too complicated. George Soros has been talking about taking over Eastern Europe using NATO for over thirty years now. Nobody wants the enemy living next door. In addition, nobody seemed to care when Ukraine attacked separatists from the Donbass area - most people here probably don’t even know what happened there. All that being said the only reason why Putin had the guts to kick off this madness was because Biden, Macron, Merkel/ Scholz, Trudeau and other leaders are too weak to do what has to be done and he knew it. I know people are not ready to come across words like these but that’s how the real world works and the sooner everyone realizes that the better.
