More evidence to contradict the lie that Putin is some kind of random overlord. The ease with which (western) liberals are willing to believe that the war must go on because the enemy is irrational and unreasonable. Jfc. And here we are again seeing that NATO purposely provoked Russia into invading. 'If you do X, we'll do Y.' Do X. 'How could anyone predict that they would do Y?'

    It is a pretty clever way to get people to support horrific violence. Putin is the "bad guy" just like in the movies. And what happens if the bad guy isn't dead at the end of the movie? He comes back for the sequel. So there's no negotiation with evil baddie Putin, the west must fight until he is destroyed because killing Putin is the only thing that will end the war, just like in the movies.
