Putin is the rapist who takes slaves who comes to Bobl house and occupies the front porch. Bobl protests but gets ignored.
Bobl then hopes that this ends things but is still arming himself as he doesn’t trust Putin. He also looks for help from others.
Putin then, 8 years later, breaks into Bobl house, rapes his daughter and threatens to make Bobl and his wife and other kids into slaves.
Bobl fight9back and restricts Putin the rapist/burglar to the front room.
Putin now demands negotiations and has a list of demands.
Does Bobl give in to these demands? Or does Bobl fight to push the ralist/burglar Putin out of his house, front porch and entire property?
The Neocons are the ones who claim that Putin is an aggressor and then PROMPTLY give him half a dozen reasons to take action in Ukraine.
...and then the Neocons find that other than their puppet governments in the West (15% of the world’s population), no one is imposing ‘sanctions’, meaning they don’t buy the line that Putin is some kind of monster.
With most of the world supporting him, the only question now is how far Putin has to go to stop the Neocons, and that is something he doesn’t control.
