Pointing out Russia attacked Ukraine, and then fucked their message's credibility by saying that Finland and Sweden joining NATO was no big deal isn't in any way political.
Both countries are fucking terrible, and it's because of the figureheads that run both. The only people I remain sympathetic towards are the civilians, even those taking sides.

He said that Russia started the war. Agree or not, that's debated by a lot of people who say it's a result of NATO expanding too much to the east. Remember, only 15% of the world population lives in a country that supports Ukraine. Most governments don't take a side or side with Russia.

Even if NATO provoked it, Russia started the war. If I provoke a guy on the street and he hits me, it’s still him facing jail time.

It's a NATO war, period. Putin has done everything to prevent it, probably too much for too long.

Let's not take this political topic further. That's not what this post was about. Thank you
