> This is the point that Robert Kennedy Jr has been making, very eloquently. Regardless of how heinous Putin may be, how nasty the Russian invasion has been, it was not unprovoked. I keep forgetting in Russias absolute drug hazed existence a country looking to defend itself is justification for invasion. But we know all the NATO stuff is false as Russia was given assurances by NATO members that Ukraine would be vetoed. That didn’t do anything to stop Russias brutal war. > But somehow bringing NATO to Russia's doorstep should not be seen as provocation? So when’s the invasion of Finland happening? If keeping NATO from Russias door step was the goal of this war if failed already. > It's very tempting to paint your military enemies as cartoon villains. In fact, painting Putin as a cleptocratic thug is easy. It gets you reelected at home. But openly humiliating him is bad foreign policy. I’m not sure what you’re saying, are you saying that Putins army is so pathetic that he needs other countries to handicap the country defending itself so he can look good?. > RFK Jr's message is that Ukraine did not benefit from this war. Their young men are being sacrificed to an American plan to wear down the Russian army. RJK Jrs message is pure Russian propaganda. But even if this was a devious American plan to wear down the Russian army. The russians could easily avoid this by just leaving. The Ukrainians are defending themselves from a brutal invasion if they stop fighting there is no more Ukraine who knows how many more war crimes the Russians will commit. If the Russians stop fighting there is no more war. > Why provoke the war when realpolitik says it's better to compromise? The world has tried compromising with Russia time and time again and it just leads to more invasions and more war crimes by them. The Russians don’t understand compromise only strength, the only way to get Russia to stop is by displaying strength not compromise. > Cui bono? Who benefits from this conflict? American military contractors, and American exporters of natural gas. The Russians benefit greatly from this conflict if they win, that is why a lot of the world is trying to help stop the brutal imperialistic invasion.
