“(me) by being a Biden,MSM, State Dept, brainwashed war cheerleader.”
Democracy has its problems, Ivan, but authoritarianism is worse.
Putin cannot possibly allow Ukraine to become as prosperous as Poland has become, nor even Romania. The people of Russia will turn to the west as surely as the people of Moldova and the people of Belarus have turned.
Here the problem with Putin: in the old days, the leaders of the Soviet Union believed in communism. Victory over the west would be won through economic achievement. “We will bury you,” Khrushchev said, meaning with washing machines, decent housing, paid vacations, etc.
We, in the west, similarly believed we had the right idea about economic achievement. So, neither of us wanted to risk a nuclear war because both of us believed we were going to win the economic war. Why risk an inevitable victory in an economic war by getting into a nuclear war!
So, we played the game and we found out democracy, not communism, wins the economic war.
But, now we are dealing with a person who has no philosophic vision, a person who is motivated by a grandiose vision, of a restored Russian Empire. He is the new Catherine the Great. Such a person is dangerous.
Everybody hates a crybaby...

The economic system of Russia is much better than the Soviet Union’s. Putin obviously had influence in that.
It is good that you have some history/facts, but your analysis is deficient.
Of Course capitalism is superior to communism.
You err in attributing attempts to advance worldwide communism to Putin v. the actual perps WEF, Dems, DeepState et al. Seriously?
Your amateur armchair Putin diagnosis/prognosis is wrong.
If Vladimir Putin is the megalomaniac you imagine, he could have EASILY administered overwhelming massive ‘shock and awe’in Feb 2022 right up to the Polish border. But he did not, because, contra your ‘thinking’, that was Not his intent/objective.
