Yeah I agree for sure.

It is possible to have a nuanced view here, to recognize that a) Putin is comitting several war crimes in ukraine and b) that governments are taking advantage of the war to justify a hyper-militaristic , hawkish foreign policy as well as mild xenophobia.

Unfortunately whenever you point out part b) , people assume youre some kind of putin sympathizer

its absurd how black and white peoples brains can turn into during wartime

its just how pendulum politics works. keep alternating back and forth , rarely do we ever get real solutions.

There is a middle ground.
