October 7, 2022 at 9:44 AM My opinion this war is the consequence of the politics of the West. US, France, UK, Italy, NL and Germany loved Putin for his money. See who benefited the most from Noord Stream. The idiotic green policies were brought by these countries because thanks to Putin gas and super low prices the countries didn't relay as much on coal production. I bet that these countries except US (as during WWII, US will benefit the most becasue of the arms sell) now are pissed and have no other choice than condemn Putin. I bet that West didn't expect Ukraine to fight back as hard as they doing. This war had a chance to be stopped long time ago if the West would blacklisted Putin and right away cut Russia from everything like the West did in the past with Iran or Iraq. There are so many similarities to WWII, WWII would finish in 1939 but the West was too stupid to understand that Hitler and Stalin would not stop with Poland. Eventually Hitler was killed, war ended BUT Russia has never faced consequences because West was too scared of Stalin like they are now scared of Putin. So we are making past mistakes until another Putin will be born and West again will be scared to stand up to bully....what is very sad is that West had no fear going after Iraq or Afghanistan in the name of freedom.
