Let's be clear, however much the US is responsible for the last 8 years leading up to this escalation, Putin was wrong, first, to escalate when he chose. There were still alternative courses. Second, the Russian allies should have secured the Donbass months ago. The current fighting is sheer brutality. I don't minimize America's role. But we all know the non-NATO world has to deal with them, knowing full well who they are and what they do . . . Sorry. No apologetics for Putin. He, too, is presiding over a catastrophe. He made grave choices too, gravely wrong. At least from the look on his face, he realizes it. As for Biden, Pelosi, and the rest of that motley crew, well . . .

@Crosley-1520 This war started in 2014, and has American paw prints all over it. Which is not to justify anything Putin has done since the beginning of 2022.

@foxythedirtydog4494 Well, some (not most) are being destroyed, or seized, or sold, which was predictable. The US probably already factored that in. It's not as if US arms never reach the hands of terrorists. The cynicism of US leadership is second to none.
