Russia and Ukraine

[The Architect Of Fate]

Your ought is not someone else’s ought.

You do think countries should be allowed to invade other countries?

  Ought does not excuse, change or mitigate the material consequence of its pursuit.

But your "is" does, right?
The "needs" of Russia, as you stated, do, right?

Putin never had any need to do any of this. He wanted to do it. Any attempt by the Russians to pretend they were forced into this invasion is bullshit.
