Your narrative is warped. The purpose of Russia invading the Ukraine was to prevent the Ukraine from joining NATO because Russia saw the positioning of NATO (primarily US) WMDs on its Ukraine border as a national security threat to Russia ; not to mention the NATO threat to The Russian- Crimean naval base . IMO the rest is a side show. In May 2008 France, Germany and other Euro-NATO members objected to the Ukraine's induction into NATO on the basis that it would provoke Russia and likely lead to war . Of course as the Ukraine's NATO membership became more probable culminating with referendum in 2019 to join NATO and the new Government's intent to do so, then war was inevitable...just a matter of when, IMO. IMO Russia won't relinquish Ukrainian territory ajoining the Sea of Azov short of WW3 regardless of whether Russia is led by Putin or a successor and China is likely to ensure that. The world is already divided economically with the US dominating the West and China dominating the East and the South with this war accelerating the division. IE: -BRICS currency pending as a replacement for the USD -China's BRI -China's Shanghai Cooperation Organisation -China's Asia Development Bank -Etc Etc Etc These counter NATO's expansion to Asia, the US World Bank, the US IMF etc etc. So while all this tectonic shift is happening ,in Aus we're like the proverbial frog being brought ever so slowly to the boil! We simply have no plan B should the US economically implode.

My "narrative" that the fascist Russian dictator shouldn't be rewarded for his rape, murder and genocide of an entirely innocent country and that supporting the country suffering at the hands of Putin's rape, murder and genocide is warped? Really makes me wonder what's wrong with you if you think my "narrative" is the one that is warped.
