Dictators do not think rationally or use logic. The handbook of dictators is really simple. They want to cling to power at all cost.
The decision making process in a democracy is not the same as that in a dictatorship. Yes, we have many pseudo democratic countries.
When people start to write long winded posts to “assist” a dictator’s agenda, I stop reading at a point.
Putin has only one agenda. Only one. In his mind he is the country and the country is him. He does not care for his people. Before the invasion, the Russian economy was struggling. Some countries around him have seen political turmoil that has led to attempts or success in removing heads of government
There is no Cold War again. The political realities of the world keep changing. China could take over Taiwan in all of two days, and it has probably stronger historical ties than Russia with Ukraine.
We can write about Gorbachev, Stalin, Lenin, the old USSR, the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Kennedy and co from here to Jerusalem. At the end, what has happened is not complicated. A dictator is making a play for a democratic country. Trying to install a puppet government in a country that is not belligerent nor shown any potential threat to Russia, having its own share of issues on some ethnic history and wishing to join the EU and NATO having that right as a sovereign state.
This is not about USA. Or others
Russia does not need our PR. Ukraine needs our humanity.
