Putin is not a madman, he is not the aggressor here, and he is not behaving irrationally. NATO and the CIA's puppet in Ukraine left him with no good choices. He knew how an invasion would be portrayed, and he tried to solve the problem diplomatically for years. Russia was promised that NATO would get "not one inch" closer to Russia's borders. There were 16 member states of NATO at that time.
In the coming years, 14 more states were admitted to NATO, all of them from former eastern bloc countries. Each one brought NATO closer to Russia, and all but five of them happened while Putin was president of Russia.
I don't like Putin particularly. He's an autocrat, a tyrant, a kleptocrat, and a butcher. He is not a good guy. In this conflict, he's being set up so that the CIA and the rest of the globalists can justify NATO's expansion and eventually remove Putin him from power, since he's not willing to bend a knee before them. It's all about the great reset.
Putin and those of us who oppose the globalist agenda have a common enemy. He may not be a good guy, but neither was Stalin when the US allied with him in WWII.
My post was a reply to one where Guttermouth expressed chagrin at the idea of thinking she was "pro-Putin." I wanted to express that I am in the same place she is with regard to not believing the legacy media's propaganda meant to make us support Ukraine and hate Putin, but it does not mean I am pro-Putin either.
There are shades of gray and nuances in life, and things are not neatly black and white. People have a tendency to see things in terms of one side being "the good guy" and the other being "the bad guy," and that's simply not a realistic way to see the world.
Many Americans have romanticized Zelenskyy and demonized Putin, like how one of Ronald Reagan's sons called Zelenskyy "the Ukranian Reagan." I expect that kind of thing from the globalist propaganda of the legacy media, but a lot of people who are COVID skeptics are buying into this whole "Putin is a madman" story.
It would be more accurate to call Zelenskyy "the Ukranian Putin," as both are corrupt kleptocrats, except that the tyrant Putin actually fights for Russia, while the tyrant Zelenskyy sold his country out to the globalists in the west, for the specific purpose of setting Ukraine up to be mauled by the bear.
I too have been surprised to see so many who saw through Convid get caught up in the Ukraine hysteria. Some of it I attribute to generations of hate-Russia Cold War propaganda having seeped deeply into the psyches of so many in the so-called free US states, where also many Covid skeptics are.
And that's why NATO made sure Putin would have little choice but to do what he did. They're a relic of a cold war that ended 30 years ago... what good are they if there is no Soviet Union to fight? So they rattle their saber, make it clear that they can't tell the difference between Russia and the former USSR, then keep provoking him and encroaching on his country until they finally get the response they were looking for.
It took a lot longer than they probably expected, and certainly a lot longer than it would have taken to provoke the US into war if we were in Russia's place, but they got their wish. The last piece of the puzzle that remained was then for the globalist media to portray this as an unprovoked act of aggression on Putin's part, which they have done. Now the cold war relic that should have disbanded in 1991 has all of this newfound relevance, and the cold war that NATO and the CIA loved so much (both were created to fight it) is back on again.
I'm not sure that Putin agrees with you, and is as excepting as you are about the end of the Cold War. He sure doesn't acknowledge other countries borders.

Thank you. This is an excellent synopsis of where my brain has arrived on this issue.

“I don’t like Putin, but ...” is becoming the analogue of “I am not an anti-vaxxer, but ...” Why all the throat clearing?
Putin is damaging NATO, the enemy of all humanity. And the Covid jab is poison, like all vaccines.

Imagine getting historical, just because one country invaded another.
Putin has done more to 'justify NATO's expansion' in the last few months than in the decades since the fall of the USSR.
And that's why NATO made sure Putin would have little choice but to do what he did. They're a relic of a cold war that ended 30 years ago... what good are they if there is no Soviet Union to fight? So they rattle their saber, make it clear that they can't tell the difference between Russia and the former USSR, then keep provoking him and encroaching on his country until they finally get the response they were looking for.
