If it wasn’t for Putin and the Russians, WW III would have already begun. They are the side showing restraint.

“If it wasn’t for Putin and the Russians, WW III would have already begun. They are the side showing restraint.”

Correct.

The video I linked to shows exactly why that is true.

The US has been stupidly and ridiculously provocative—and taken no actions to reduce the risk of nuclear conflict.

This is bad for everyone in the US and around the world.

Hating Putin is no excuse for US policymakers to be self-destructive idiots.

If it wasn’t for Putin and the Russians, no one would even be talking about the potential for WWIII to be starting tomorrow.

And if Russia really was showing restraint, they wouldn't have been at "special military operation" with Ukraine in the first place!
