I made several points in the post you respond to Jim.
Putin is the undoubtedly the aggressor in his War on Ukraine...arguably more accurately described as his proxy War on the "West" and NATO.....just look at his rhetoric.
The Security Guarantees he demanded in December 2021 were never likely to be accepted and he knew that.
The Kremlin spouts copious quantities of disinformation and propaganda which were debunked in the piece in the link.
Feel free to argue those points.
No pots or kettles in that I can see.
