It's also about a chance to give Putin a forum to go over the heads of the corrupt pols who started the war...

Full stop...Putin was the one who started the war.

---

Bad selection of words.

Putin started the war by invading the Ukraine. The Biden Administration were the ones who fomented the war by their actions and implicit threats regarding their intentions in the Ukraine. Given that Biden's predecessor, Obama and Victoria Nuland openly organized and executed a color revolution in Ukraine that ousted the elected leader of the country in 2014, Putin had every right to take these threats seriously.

Complete and utter nonsense.

The truth:

Putin Reclaims Crimea for Russia and Bitterly Denounces the West

Russian 'invasion' of Crimea fuels fear of Ukraine conflict

Russia's Igor Strelkov: I Am Responsible for War in Eastern Ukraine

Thanks for sharing the Russian propaganda talking points about when ordinary Ukrainians decided that a corrupt pro-Russian puppet was not an acceptable leader. Their elected representatives pushed for his removal, and he resigned.

And then the Russians started the fighting, arming and fighting with rebel groups and seizing Crimea.
