I believe Putin was in the right to mount a special operation in Ukraine. It was rife with Nazis and still is.That is the Western supported element forcing Ukraine to hang in when they should have complied with Russia's legitimate objectives years ago. I have seen clips of early twentieth century Nazism in Ukraine:a bsolutely soul-destroying. It isn't a question of what other countries would do, although not a single nuke power would have done differently: Russia is 100% in the right, has attacked no-one - unlike the majority of powerful countries, has no plans to do so, except in self-defence.
