Ah yeah, now he’s playing a victim
huh?
Putin is playing the victim. Did you read the article you submitted?
Moscow increasingly views the Ukrainian strikes as attacks by NATO states because alliance members supply Kyiv with weapons and intelligence, the people said. The current phase of hostilities isn’t the peak of military escalation, they said.
President Vladimir Putin signaled his intentions in weekend comments to a state TV reporter, as he shrugged off the impact of the attacks on Russia’s economy. Ukraine “opened this Pandora’s box,” he said. “Well, be ready to get a blowback on your most sensitive sectors of the economy.”
Yeah, I did, where is anybody playing the victim?
Holy fuck. Did you read the comment you just replied to?
I sure did. Nobody is playing a victim here. What’s happening is that Russia has identified NATO as a direct participant in the war and is planning to retaliate in kind.
What war? Keep going, you’re almost there.
The proxy war NATO intentionally provoked as was extensively documented in US policy papers such as this one https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html
