Re "So the honest answer from you is '' I dont have a clue , but I dont care. Any criticism of Putin interferes with the fantasies that validate my existence, therefore must be wrong ''.
I know the "only Putin bad" crowd struggle with uncertainty, but let me try and clear things up. I don't know which of a few possible motivations has prompted Putin to act, that is different to having no idea what is going on and I don't care.
Of course, if you imagine Soros and the US war machine (who have provoked this situation) care about the well-being of Ukrainians then the fantasies are really all yours to enjoy.
