On the Russian/Ukraine conflict, you have those who believe that the conflict started in 2022 with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and those who believe it started in 2014 with the coup against the then democratic elected president of Ukraine (or even before, when NATO made it clear to Russia of it plans to expand eastwards, contrary to what had been agreed after the fall of the Berlin Wall)
These two point of views are irreconcilable. Most people I know who belong to the first group see Putin as the aggressor, Trump as a Russian asset, etc, whereas those in the second group, like you, see it with more nuance.
Speaking of nuance you fail to see Chinas role in the greater game.
Putin is a Chinese proxy. Russia is now reliant upon Chinas purchase of their oil and gas and Chinas routing of trade payments via its alternative trade payments network based in Hong Kong. China is building a global new order and Putin is an attack dog military proxy and economic tributary to China.
