What ? The nub of the issue ? That is you condemning Putin for starting the ever growing, dangerous conflagration ? pitting Slavs against Slavs which you're so distressed over ? .....you're just ducking and weaving/attempting to deflect again. And what gives Putin the right to Dictate Red Lines on only his terms and brutally invade a independent state after he's already dishonored International Agreements, Undertakings and 'Understandings' and Trust ?
