Wrongdoing is wrongdoing. Any sin is still a sin. Your post seeks to justify Zelenskys action’s that were prior to Russia and an invasion.
I do not mean to justify Zelensky‘s actions. Instead I am pointing out that his sins pale in comparison to those of Putin.
Here’s a rough comparison. Poland in the 1930s was no bastion of liberal thought. The country was run by a cabal of Polish military officers. Those guys cared little for democracy or free speech. But then on September 1, 1939 Germany manufactured a reason to invade.
At that instance the many shortcomings of the Polish government became secondary. The evil of the Nazi invasion trumped all that.
