    No, Putin is not the one responsible for this war. Firstly, reducting entire conditions and situation to “Putin want” is by itself completely infantile and should be full stop. Secondly, did you perhaps missed continous USA agreesion at Russia and Soviet Union since 1917 and the catastrophic turn of events after 1991 with numerous escalations by NATO expansion, aggressive manouver, military encirclements and coups/attempts in many countries bordering Russia?

    This is what you won’t ever hear in polish media.

      Nato does not expand by itself. Countries join because they are fearful of Russian aggression.

        What and aggresively placed country, right in the middle of all those NATO bases!

        It must be because 81% of armed conflicts in the world since 1945 was either started or meddled in by Russia.

        No wait, it’s the USA.

      Did you even read what I wrote? Indeed the NATO needs reforming (they tend to exarebate waay to many issues in this world), but I can see why e.g. Finland wants to join it now Putin and friends are increasingly authoritarian towards their own populace and increasingly aggressive towards nations outside Russia.

        Adding “and friends” somehow make that “analysis” even more infantile. Rest of what you wrote is again, pure propaganda identical in polish and USA media, completely ignoring history. Yes, that include “NATO bad also”, very old centrist technique to push leftists into the support of imperialism.

        There is no “also”. Western imperialism is the prime contradiction now.
