That poor child, what will we ever do! He has been- gasp- ignored!

And why would anyone defend a KGB agent who says that other nations cannot stand up to his tantrums or other nations join in resisting his claims to own most (now all) of Europe because, you know, he is Peter the Great, he says so himself. And would Vlad the Impaler ever lie?

Yes, the U.S. has been a crappy country in the past when it comes to dealing with weaker, poorer nations and still is in a lot of ways (scratch that -in MANY ways). But to claim we forced innocent little KGB Putin to invade the smaller, weaker nations around Russia?

You make several good points but to claim the U.S. is at fault for the war in Ukraine is quite the stretch. Smells of Putin-ganda and Russian troll, to me.
