The official mainstream narrative throughout the western world is that Putin invaded Ukraine solely because he is evil and hates freedom.
Well, that is because it is literally true.
War is bad, m’kay, but the inherent problem with being an unbending peacenik with no perspective is that this allows others to just gain what they want through violence, regardless of your personal morals or opinion on the matter. So war is bad, but allowing aggressors and bad actors to steal and murder and oppress unchecked is worse.
I was going to put a lengthy explanation here including details of the timelines making no sense according to the writer’s special version of non-reality (i.e. the Crimean War already having happened in 2014, well before the US’s alleged “diplomatic failures” in 2021), but anyone as batshit as the writer of this column is not going to be swayed by actual facts. Anyone genuinely interested and with access to half a brain or more can easily look up the demonstrably false claims made by Putin regarding Ukraine, his allegations that Ukraine has “no right to exist,” and other nutcase behavior on his part prior to and during the 2022 invasion. It’s well documented and not hard to find.
