Trying to understand Mr. Putin?
Putin might have a point! The West – especially Ukraine and its backers – should rethink what they’re doing. Mr. Putin explains, “It all started when they hit me back.” Putin’s foreign policy? It’s easy: “Don’t hit me back!” Does that mean self-defense is an act of aggression? Sorry, Vlad. Nobody’s buying that.
Succinct and true! Nations like Russia fail when they allow leaders to exercise their megalomania in the absence of a moral compass.
