Uhhhh…..

You do know that Putin could have chosen not to invade…..


Right?


And you do know if Putin wanted the war to end, he could end it today by simply pulling back to Russia.

Again. The entirety of fault for starting this war lies on the shoulders of the Russians.

The entirety of fault for the continuation of the war lies on the shoulders of the Russians.

Well, he's right that it was an impetus for the invasion. But he's wrong in implying it's some sort of justification. Putin saw his that his ridiculous imperial landgrab delusion would soon be off the table and jumped out of desperation. Funny how the "Russia was defending itself" crowd never has an explanation for Russia's bullshite penny ante imperial conquests in Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Chechnya.
