One more thing: Putin isn’t an expansionist
Putin assumed power on New Year’s Eve 1999, effectively 2000. He’s been in power for 23 full years. He’s over 70 years old now. The argument that Putin is some sort of world conqueror is laughable on its face. He has not invaded anything other than some legitimate skirmishes inside historical USSR lands. He has not invaded Finland, which he has 22 years to do. He hasn’t invaded Poland. Etcetera. The idea that Putin is somehow going to march into these countries now, having waited 23 years to do so, is laughable. When would he start doing that? When he turns 80 or 90 years old? 100?
The US deceitful expansion of NATO was obviously unacceptable
