I didn't say that Putin is a nice guy. Regardless of how despicable he may be, his actions are understandable. They're not just senseless violence. That's the point I'm trying to make.
In a “well, I understand, Jeff actually owned my ass” and I’m not an autonomous person but his property because my dad was his dads indentured servant once” kind of way understandable. Oh and you gave him your shotgun 20 years back because he promised security guarantees but since then already invaded and annexed your patio and constantly kept making threats.
The same way of understanding that people extended for Hitlers need for Lebensraum. He was literally forced to invade Poland, right?
It’s understandable to fascists rejecting the rule of law and craving rule of the strongest because they think they’d win in that scenario.
if you can see this, why would you not see the american actions as "understandable"
