    You seem to think his reasons are valid. Stop dancing around that. You said he “had no choice but to invade”. That means you think he was justified in invading.

    He wasn’t.

    I also “acknowledge the existence of his reasons” just the same as I “acknowledge the existence” of the reasons a child steals candy. They wanted it. The reason exists, sure, but it doesn’t make it a good or valid one.

      I dont

      You said he “had no choice but to invade”.

      Yep

      That means you think he was justified in invading.

      What? :D you literally just quoted me? :D Did I say “I think he had no choice but to invade and I agree with his reasons and the conclusions he came to” or “had no choice but to invade”.

      Man, you truly are a tankie. Like a labgrown unfiltered nazi, sorry, tankie.

        You literally said he had no choice but to invade. That is, from you, a statement of believed fact. Why are you trying to backpedal, here? This is what you said. You even agree that I quoted you. How can you say “he had no choice but to invade”, and now imply you never claimed to agree?

        If you didn’t agree, you’d have said “Putin claimed he had no choice”. But you didn’t. You said, flat out, he had no choice.
