It's shocking to discover just how much Russian influence there has been and the use of fake news and troll farming has been known for some time. We can't abdicate our responsibility in allowing him to become bolder and feel stronger to the point where he brazenly invaded Ukraine..
I'm not a pacifist. I'm very willing to fight for what I believe in. Neither am I entrenched in a polar opposite view and am swayed by intelligent debators like yourself to adjust my thinking and adapt to complexities. I don't post simply to take a contrary view, as you know, and I'm deeply appreciative of considered responses and views of people like your good self.
