The civilians didn't but the idiot comedian we appointed to lead Ukraine...yeah, he f#@ked up.... he believed the US and EU politicians they paid off when they said, "Russia is just a gas station pretending to be a country." and "Russia will never invade you with all of us supporting you. We'll be right behind you and protect you when the bear comes to the door."
I don't support Putin. Yeah, he's a murdering sociopath... but what? That surprises you that a guy that has killed Chechnyans, Geogians, Ukrainians and maimed and murdered political opponents decided to attack Ukraine? Really?
What about all the other leaders our government supports or does business with? Civilians are pawns to the leaders of the world.

What is the relevancy of your statement? Does Zelenskyy's having "messed up" mean that Russia's invasion is somehow less egregious, less deserving of rebuke?
We really seem to be talking past each other. Let me try an analogy.
Jack rapes Fred's daughter. Bob observes: "Yes, Jack is a monster, and Fred's daughter is innocent - But Fred is a real assh*le!"
Do you see now how irrelevant that observation is? In determining what we should do with Jack, it is entirely sufficient to demonstrate that Jack was the aggressor, and that Fred's daughter was innocent of any wrong-doing. It is entirely unnecessary - in fact, it is downright OBFUSCATING - to express any opinion about Fred's character. The point is that Jack is recognized as the threat to public safety, and that we (society at large) should deal with him, somehow.
Do you follow me?
