It’s nuts that there are still grown adults who think Putin invaded Ukraine for no other reason than because he is evil and hates freedom. Focus less on the Azov Battalion and more on the fact that the US deliberately provoked this war with the goal of toppling Moscow.

Putin doesn't want NATO parking missiles on its borders. It wants its direct neighbors to be neutral countries unaffilated with the US or NATO. You've been slurping up Western propaganda but to anyone with a more nuanced view it's obvious that Russia is trying to defend its sovereignty and that it was provoked by the US here.

If Russia takes over the Ukraine it will border 4 NATO countries. Not wanting NATO on it's borders is clearly not a Russian concern at all.

Putin doesn't get to dictate the policies of sovereign nations.

You're being mislead by the Kremlin. Sad.

    Those actions are met with consequences. This will end terribly for Russia.

    I don't watch CNN.
