Bigots usually take one side or the other and perhaps that's
why there are wars in the first instance.
IMO the USA, Russia, NATO and the Ukraine knew in 2013
what were the likely consequences of NATO accepting the Ukraine as a member.
This is not an issue of right or wrong....its a matter of pragmatism
and both Germany and France said so at the Belgrade NATO summit in
2008 when NATO/US gave strong signals that the Ukraine would
be accepted into NATO.
In Aug Russia invaded Georgia to prevent Georgia from Joining NATO
(disputed borders) and now Russia is doing ditto with the Ukraine.
(Russia has created a disputed border issue to also prevent Moldova
from joining NATO.
So in summary. this is geopolitics ...not morality... where unfortunately
the strong win and now we have to await the outcome of this war to
see if that is so. By saying so does not imply taking sides but instead
stating the obvious ,.
IMO its an absolute tragedy for the Ukrainian people that ideologues
have on both sides caused this situation as it is also a tragedy for
Palestinians that ideologues have caused such death and destruction
in Gaza with likely more to come.
"Where there is life there is hope" and IMO the sooner that both wars are settled,
the better it is for mankind.

Did you self moderate the rubbish you posted today about Turkiye? That would be the honest thing to do. And at least you could try and get the name of the country correct. And by the way again do you even know where the Bosporus (sic) is located?
The only thing neutral about you Moscowmick is the gear your brain is in.
