Ah, sure. Who started attacking btw? I mean seriously, you cant even use the good old "nato expansionism" card here, because there was no real discussion and chance of ukraine joining nato anyway. Putin just forces his people to die because its more comfortable for him than to face the fact that russia has gone shit under his reign and therefore the plebs must be held in control by distraction and fear. Whoever supports putin and his oligarch friends is as far from being left as trump supporters. He is one of the richest people on earth, but instead of empowering workers, minority groups and the masses he constantly supresses those groups.
