I'm not going to dance around the issue here - I support President Putin and his efforts to engage in his Special Military Operation turned war in Ukraine. Now I know that may seem controversial and counterintuitive to what the mainstream media native is, but it’s necessary that I lead with this statement because I think it's about time that people grow up and accept the world for what it is and how it works. Understand something, despite what the mainstream media has said over the decades and how they may have conditioned you to think - Russia has in fact tried every possible way to work and compromise with the United States and once was actually a member of NATO in the past. But Russia only found itself to be ostracized and treated like an unwanted stepchild by the United States and its NATO allies. There are some U.S. Government Officials that may say things to the effect of: “Russia can't be trusted”, or “Russia has broken peace agreements” or whatever else they may want to say. And their claims may even be true.
However, the U.S. Government Officials that subscribe to such notions like these examples mentioned will only relay their perspective on how they perceived things to have unfold to the general public (and the rest of the world); but they will hardly ever reveal how their hands may have shaped and molded their relationship with Russia into what it is today. When it comes to the Special Military Operation and now war in Ukraine, I hold the position that Ukraine brought their current situation on themselves - and they’ve done this by violating the 2014 Minsk Agreement which was a revision of the first agreement. For a point of reference, the first Minsk Agreement was an internationally recognized agreement and was abandoned in 1991, which basically was a 12-point ceasefire deal between Ukraine and (allegedly) Russian-backed separatist. However, keep in mind that the 2014 revised Minsk Agreement did in fact have a neutrality clause in it that would forbid Ukraine from joining NATO.
Besides allowing extreme pro-right wing militarized Nazi’s to take strong roots in Ukraine (remember Ukraine supported Adolph Hitler and the Nazi’s back in the day), that’s where the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy f**ked up at. The Comedian turned President attempted to join NATO after the fact because Ukraine was getting their a** handed to them by Russia for allowing these right winged Nazi’s to take such a strong root there. In doing so they began to expand into the Ukrainian military and that's where Russia drew the line. Remember Russia aided in the defeat of the Nazi regime in Stalingrad. So, with Pro-Nazi’s becoming a threat combined with Volodymyr Zelenskyy begging for aid (taking money out of the American taxpayers’ pockets), accepting weapons from foreign countries, allowing mercenaries to fight by his side and seeking to join NATO (Minsk Agreement violation), Russia is more than in their rights to bomb Ukraine to glass.

But Russia didn’t and you should be asking yourself why. One reason why is because President Putin is strategic in his execution of dealing with both issues. Remember he is an accomplished chess player - which means he can think critically and can engage in risk management. Thus, he’s not a narrow-minded person and can see not only the forest but he can see the trees. Whether you agree or not - you have to agree that the Cold War mentally must be abandoned because it does nothing but holds everyone back from social progress while it takes the lives of people who are nothing more than pawns on the chess board.
