- amanaplanacanal 4y agoSure. The west forced Putin to invade a neighboring country.
- alienicecream 4y agoMaybe not forced, but the west gave him a good reason to. The Mexico analogy is a good one, and the US has invaded other countries for less, so I'm not sure why that's such a controversial take.
