We had no business even messing in elections 7000 miles from our borders. Russia has obligations to her citizens and neighbors of Russian ethnicity.
But. I don’t want to argue the Russian side. I can’t. I don’t have access to any kind of information about what goes on there other than our good old midstream media. I suppose Putin is probably a bad actor, I’m not as sure about it as I used to be.
If you want to get down to it, should Putin be in power?
He gamed the system over there to the point he’s got it for life it seems. That makes him somewhat illegitimate too.
I am not convinced anyone has pristine hands on this. I don’t buy the idea it was evil for the Ukraine to opt to go with the West. Lets not kid ourselves either. Russia had it’s own players in there fighting.

A similar argument was made in 1938 in reference to minority German ethnic in a certain European state..
