That's funny, because in my social media circles I see a lot of edgy contrarians blaming the West for everything.
Even after Putin compared himself to Peter the Great [1], in that Peter righteously conquered possessions of Sweden to "return" them to the rightful possession of the Russian empire, and Putin was now doing the same with Ukraine - which, according to him, seems to have no right to possess itself.
Putin is the worst thing to happen to the international community since Hitler. He wants to return Russia back to its former imperial glory, and he doesn't care how many millions of lives he must destroy or subjugate to achieve that. I don't understand how it's difficult to see. Or maybe some people don't want to see.
