Time will show one of us, or each of us in different ways. There is no "true situtation". There are many aspects. All Ukranians are not alike, or Russians or anyone. I believe if you read what I read again you'd see I'm not excusing Putin, only explaining there is a logic and perhaps the invasion could have been stopped. But I fully understand he may have planned it all along and I'm simply dead wrong.
Putin did say he would "thrash him (Zelensky)" Does he hate Ukraine? He seems to now. Was that always the case? I believe Putin isn't right in the head. Again, not sure he ever was.
I definitely have been warped by Russian propaganda. I don't trust anyone who says they're not warped by propaganda.
I write about the South in my latest article. Hope you'll comment if you have something to say! Thanks for this comment!
