By russia. They attacked Georgia in 2008, they attacked ukraine in 2014.

Did you read my initial comment? You don't even reply to anything and just ignore the coup by the US in 2014 and the military training of Ukrainian Neo-nazis the following 8 years, while stating Russia is their #1 enemy. Yes that's right, the West pumped nationalism and weapons into Ukraine way before 2022.

This is why nobody likes them and everybody wants to see them suffer, this is why so many countries were happy to give Ukraine weapons if it meant Russian invaders would die.

"So many" countries like the G7 told by the US to donate? They are barely 10% of the world population. The US gives weapons to Ukraine because they use them as a stick to punch and weaken Russia, while using Ukrainians as flesh to achieve this. They don't care what Ukraine will be after the war, the support will only last until the US thinks it weakened Russia enough. If you don't like Russia, then fight yourself instead of sending them into safe death.

Russia is a bully nation, and we get to watch that most beautiful moment, when the bullied stands up and blasts their bully in the face with a himars.

Bruh they use Himars to shell hospitals and city centers that are still Ukrainian and a good amount of them lives there. The Ukrainian nazis killed probably more civilians of their own than the invaders, and you call that a "beautiful moment".

Putin won’t last through the year, the thunder run destroyed his aura of invulnerability, I look forward to watching him do his Nick II impression.

I agree, that would be good but not worth a try for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives in exchange, especially if you don't even know for sure if that will be the outcome. Typical lib, cheering the death of people in general.

Putin wasn’t ‘put in a position’, he’s the ruler of Russia, he has agency, and now we get to watch the Russian people pay the price for his stupidity.

Where do you think Putins power comes from? The oligarchs in Russia fear his force powers like from Darth Vader or what? Also then what is your big plan? You remove him, you run elections like in the 90s again, you get Yelson 2, after ten years you get another Putin 2 that again will resist the West. Did you even read my initial comment? My whole point was that is not the decision of one man because life is not Lord of the Rings, and then you reply by the great man theory, which is based on idealism. Like I said, until the West does not change it foreign policy towards Russia, the Oligarchy of Russia will put up people like Putin up and pursue similar politics.

I am convinced that you are just a racist that thinks Russia has Putin and is evil because of their DNA or something. That's why you refuse to accept any material analysis of the geopolitics behind and blame it on one leadership.
