Since you two are the most active, please answer this:

If a ship were to hit a Sea Mine near Mariupol, who is the bad guy, Zelensky or Putin??

If someone clears the Sea Mines near Mariupol, who is the good guy, Putin or Zelensky??

Perspective is everything.

Of course perspective is everything, IF you have chosen a side. If I’m a Russian sailor and my ship hits a mine laid by Ukraine, then Ukraine is the bad guy. However, if I’m the Ukrainian Coast Guardsman who laid that mine, then the Russian is the enemy.

A totally impartial observer would not say either one was the enemy; that observer would just say that the ship struck a Ukrainian mine. Because, after all, it’s a war.
