Whilst I agree on the appalling nature of what the US is doing, you seriously downplay how civilians are treated in North Korea, Iran, China etc. the former two much worse than China. Putin’s war on The Ukraine is less an issue for global markets and oil supply internationally, although still serious, but the Ukrainian government aren’t even remotely on the same planet as the Ayatollah and Iran’s regime. Zelenskyy is actually a good man, in a sea of utter cunts leading nation states today. They weren’t a perceived threat, they just so happen to be within what Putin sees as his nation’s right to territory, in his warped vision of the USSR Empire.
