Nobody had to die in the first place … all the doing of one unhinged madman …

Thing is mate, he's not actually unhinged or mad, far from it, he's always been very calculating.

It's easy to paint him as a raving lunatic, but it's missing the big issue which is what he's done he's done based on a very clear set of objectives and for what he perceived as 'legitimate' reasons. Now thinking those reasons where not rational is another thing entirely.

With hindsight 2014 was the moment that a massive international response needed to have happened, soon as Crimea was annexed and the Donbass declared themselves independent and effectively a civil war started was when the full international community needed to stop that conflict and sit everyone down at the table.

Soon as Ukranians started killing Ukranians on both sides the thing went into a much harder place to resolve, and that continued to worsen until it literally fell off the cliff in February.

Oh I see now, it’s all ukraines fault
 
And?


Evil = Putin


Me? Nah. I just want to see you and your comrades suffer the same fear, terror and uncertainty as those poor innocents in Ukraine.
I hope you and your family suffer more than most.


I won't react mate, I feel sorry for you as to say what you just did shows you're hurting, and I'm sorry for that and wish your family nothing but good thoughts

I'm not hurting.
Stick your wishes up your arse. I want nothing from you. Just pain, suffering and misery for all of your loved ones.

Which arguably makes it worse. The calculating ones using a form of instrumental reason are just as, if more, terrifying.

Causes and reasons, always subjective ultimately. From the Falklands war, to Iraq, to this.
