Your 'timeline' is AFU.
You are ignoring the nonresponse by the west all of the weeks prior to Putin's invasion where he massed troops on the border.
No aid sent, nothing.

Or the lack of a meaningful response when they took the Crimean in the first place…That and the ever growing dependence of Europe on Russian oil and gas pretty well green-lighted current problems.

It's fascinating to watch the pivot over the last few weeks. First you said that the west should stand down and let the unstoppable Russian juggernaut take whatever it wants.

Now, you're saying it's the West's fault that we didn't do enough to prevent war from happening.

It's definitely a tricky spot for Putin apologists.

How do you not get to be called a Putin apologist? Is there an approved ribbon to wear yet?

Don't make excuses for an unprovoked invasion where hospitals and schools and theaters are being bombed. Pretty simple

I’m sure Tucker Carlson and his brood can provide guidance.

No one's making excuses for anything. They're explaining to you why it happened.
