"Nazism must be fought (and that is what Putin does in Ukraine )" "we never know nor will we know the true interests" is exactly what Russian TV propaganda shits in the heads of its citizens, so you must be one of them. I am Russian, I love my country, but Putin is a fascist dictator, who usurped power and murdered thousands of good people. Fuck you.

Hey. We're observing thr economy here. The political clown show on both sides only is interesting as it moved markets and has impacts on geopolitics.

You've set the tone calling an economic response to a military aggression stupid. I say evil must be fought, and sure thing it is a costly affair. It was stupid not to see where it was going after 2008 Georgia invasion: continuing to trade with Russia and helping it get stronger, so now the cost is much higher. Remember Sudetes. Global economy is all about geopolitics.

You clearly have no idea of the historic background of this conflict. It's all out there, study it before insulting me.

You clearly justify killing and jailing political opponents and journalists, amending constitution and falsifying elections to stay in power forever, controlling all media to brainwash citizens into hating "external enemies" instead of close circle of gangsters who privatized the country. This is the "historic background".

You are either a kremlin bot or a useful fool pedalling their agenda.

I was going to expand on the discussion but I think it's maybe but just to say that I find there is both truth and value in both understandings, and there probably are many insights that go unrealized in a historical perspective.
