 It’s interesting to hear how Putin sees things. He literally sees this whole thing sort of like a bunch of pseudo kings who own some plots of land and people are putting fences on the wrong side of the yard. Where apparently everyone who all speaks the same language and has the same culture should be part of this property and not that other property.

His rhetoric is with this assumption of what Russia is owed. It’s interesting purely because it’s a totally different kind of piece of crap politician than the ones in the West generally. It’s like too giant pieces of shit are fighting each other and both have no concern or even slight respect for all of the collateral damage and individual lives lost, but for different reasons.
