This thread is titled Ukraine conflict. Two individuals or bots have hijacked it in support of Russia's disinformation campaign. I am not ignoring anything just dismissing Putin's claims as not being reasonable by any standard and therefore many people belaboring his absurd rationale are trying to taciltly defend Putin's unreasonable claims by continuously saying the west should have known better.
