If Putin wasn't...a nationalist

What's wrong with nationalism, and what is a more acceptable to you?

A Putin's is a nationalist in the same way Hitler was a nationalist. He wants to resurrect the Soviet Empire by intimidation if possible, by force of arms if necessary. Yes, the situation in Ukraine is multi-faceted and complex, however, the blame for the armed invasion of an independent nation is squarely on Vlad.

The real point of my post was that Boris Johnson's statement that the cause of the invasion of Ukraine was because of Putin's toxic masculinity, was both insufficient and irrelevant to resolving the situation.
