    If it werent for US interference in Russian elections under Clinton we wouldnt have Putin. But no, the US started this process years before.

      Got it. Clinton interfered with the Russian elections in the 1990s knowing that one day, Putin would become dictator-for-life and invade Ukraine on a spurious pretext in order to create new business interests for Western companies.

      Sounds very plausible.

        Clinton is to blame for the entire Putin ordeal. Had the US not interfered, Yeltsin would have never been reelected and Putin would have never risen to where he is now.

          Why start at Clinton? If it hadn’t been for the Vikings, there would be no Russia.

          So maybe we should blame the Vikings for Putin invading Ukraine.

          Or, and maybe this is going way out on a limb- we blame Putin for doing what he could have just not done and could still stop doing rather than blame a guy who hasn’t been president in a quarter century?

          You are trying really hard to not connect the knife sticking in the stab wound with the murder.
