This is why some root for Putin.
Understandable too.
I've never quite understood what one has to do with the other. If you take the Russians at their word, this war is simply about the Donbass, and Ukraine agreeing to Russian control of Crimea. That's it. So how does the outcome of that very limited dispute have anything to do with LGwhatever issues in the rest of the world?
It's Putin or Khamenei, and the choice is upon them.
