Vladimir Putin's decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a monstrous act of aggression that has plunged the world into a perilous situation. By any reasonable standard, his move was an over-the-top response to any Ukrainian or NATO provocations. However, that conclusion is different from saying that there were no provocations, as far too many policymakers and pundits in the West are doing now.

Lot of peeps in denial on this but its truth.
However, Obama and Biden gave Putin permission to invade Ukraine.
Right you get these phony articles and phony conservative commentators who commentators who go on 1st about what an awful act of aggression it is aggression it is and a crime against humanity and then somehow they try to make a case that we caused it.
Putin invaded Ukraine because he wanted Ukraine and Biden was pathetically weak. End of story.
Russia took a bite, and no one said anything. So he went for a bigger bite, and this time everyone is on his case.
Its not fair, I tell you.
Yes it was the USA’s fault in part. Weak, pathetic Biden gave Putin the green light.
When 11 Time Zones just isn’t enough.
Right..remember Biden’s mistakes about “intrusion”?
I think Putin and Biden were surprised by the world reaction.
Russia’s casus belli is that Ukraine was looking west for its future. Ukraine’s casus belli is Russia pounding its cities into dust.
Nooseweak switching sides again, in case Ukraine loses.
You are correct again.
CATO institute, the origin of this article, is considered libertarian and not conservative.
Yes, true. Biden probably thought he would have to give a statement milfly disapproving of the invasion, and that wa sit. Of course, he wa probably assured it would be over in a day.
That’s my thoughts too.
Yep, known and talked about for many years.
The Chinese too. They came out with a mild statement at first, but I am pretty sure Putin told them it would be a few days max.
good article
i hope some of the Biden/Soros/Schwab fans will read it
I agree.
Yeah. End war. NOW. NO WWIII!!! it’s always our fault.
