We disagree on whether Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was provoked or not. I certainly understand Putin’s concern about NATO’s expansion. The mere talk of accepting Ukraine into NATO was foolish and dangerous.

But as I see it, you are only justified in going to war when another country has first committed a warlike activity against you. That is a high standard, I know.

Oh, and I do agree with you about Biden bearing some responsibility here. Everyone in his administration behaves like an ignorant and spoiled child. Unfortunately, I fully expect that to continue.

True. Hitler had legitimate gripes against the Versailles Treaty, but up until the invasion of Poland, nobody attacked Germany.
