We're the ones that turned Ukraine into a national security threat to Russia. We armed Ukraine with offensive weapons, funded biolabs with deadly pathogens in them and teased NATO membership for it.
The Biden regime wanted this war. They hoped it would lead to regime change so our corrupt political and business class could enrich themselves in Russia like they have in Ukraine.
Surprisingly enough, I agree with most of your post. I think Putin is a war criminal. You do not. But other than that, everything you said makes sense.
I suppose that at the core, our disagreement comes from this one question: Was there enough of a provocation for Russia to invade? I say no. You say yes.
