I'm not partial to Putin though I definitely hold him in higher regard than most of TPTB. That's not saying much. It's hard to get a real grasp on him from here in the US; what we do know is that he seems to at least be looking out for Russia and its citizens, which is better than the majority of "leaders" today
Well, the citizens he's not sending to get blown up and maimed. Or the ones he's jailing over minor anti war stuff. But yeah, fighting back against all the gay shit. Fair enough.
Yeah I feel you. Again I've never been a big fan of Putin's but at the same time the agreement with NATO was set in the 90s. They've encroached over and over again, continuously, for decades now, moving closer and closer to surrounding Russia. I despise the war but I don't see Putin as the initial aggressor. He reacted, however poorly it may have been.
Which agreement with NATO are you talking about?
The NRFA was signed in '97 but before that in '91, Gorbachev was given assurances about NATO not expanding to the east. Like I said, it's a poor reaction but still a reaction nonetheless. I'm sure the US or China would respond in a similar manner if folks we viewed as adversaries were pushing up on our borders and using rhetoric to demonize us to the world at the same time, not to mention sanctions, etc.
