Who else is to blame? Sure, others could have done more to stop Putin, but the aggression comes entirely from Putin.
It's far more naive to not consider how Ukraine is threatened. There is no way in which Ukraine ever posed any kind of threat to Russia. The only issue is that a successful Ukraine independently from Russia would expose Putin's failure to his own people. That was the only "threat", but that wasn't Ukraine's doing, that failure is Putin's. And he's trying to shoot, not even the messenger, but the evidence.
It is completely different. Nobody was putting nukes in Ukraine. The US did not genocide Cuba. Cuba was not a democracy. The situations have almost nothing in common other than Russia's involvement.
Rumours that the US created! Just like Russia created the rumours of weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine! That's not a justification, that's a flimsy cover for naked aggression.
Please don't defend such blatant lies.
No. Expecting peace and reason is never unreasonable. Stop trying to normalise aggression and imperialism.
They're demonising themselves by acting like demons. Stop trying to paint aggressors as victims.
