Back before Putin stepped over the border, when the MSM had more of a free reign to discuss the prelude of events that were shaping Putin’s threats to the Ukraine and NATO.

It became apparent to me that I disliked Putin but it was also obvious that NATO was being pig ignorant or blatantly trying to push him into a position where he would be forced to cower or go the knuckle.

There was also a bit of a focus on recent domestic issues in the Ukrainian regarding the political situation and how it had swung from pro Russian to pro Western and I became aware of the civil war/internal troubles in the eastern region of the country.

That’s why my position is what it is, why I don’t take the simplistic view that he started it or that the Ukraine was a free and independent country just minding its own business.

Since the shooting started it has become increasingly clear in my mind that the conflict has little to do with protecting the people of the Ukraine, they’re just the Patsy’s unfortunate enough to be in a convenient geographic location.

This conflict is about Energy and Influence on a global level.

European reliance on Russian energy supplies to fill the massive gaps that their renewable transition programme has created was/is a major problem for the Western elites.
Couple this with the fact that Vlad is no puppet of these people, isn’t the type of Leader to roll over on command and doesn’t give a tinker’s about maintaining the US Petro Dollar payments system, IPCC, WHO or any of the other tools that are used to keep the western elites in a position to manipulate/dictate their preferred world order.

And it’s very easy to see why the reason for Ukraine conflict is not as simple as Vlad started it.

No skin off my nose if you disagree with my assessment, you stick with your black and white view that disregards anything other than Vlad bad man .

Very objective view. I didn't like Trump because his policies created negative volatility for the financial markets but I did like his transactional approach. U fortunately he was surrounded with a few dysfunctional idiots. Beats Biden card board Potus quote, complete ideology based like the Genderism religion and we are experiencing the Genderist minority just like jihadists!

You do realise I'm weary of the German experience in which we find ourselves with IO role reversal play.
