He, and the Russian government, should've taken more time (before invading) to consider whether this whole invasion idea was a really good idea because clearly, things aren't going well for them, and they know that the Western powers weren't going to sit by and just watch. I know, hindsight is 20/20, but this is the situation Russia is in now. And both Russia and Ukraine are suffering because of it.
As for this whole idea about how Putin is sort of like the good guy in this story, and who just happens to be horribly misunderstood (which is what I keep reading on Quora), I don't buy it one bit.
ETA: It also doesn't matter whether the Russian government was provoked into doing it, because at some point, each government (and individual persons) should be held accountable for their own actions, and we shouldn't keep blaming others for what we ourselves do.
I'm going to reshare this video:
Bring it to 4:30.
Tim Wilson believes in a change of Russian Leadership for the better and a negotiated peace. He believes in a “rethink by the current Russian administration”
This seems very idealistic. Still it’s the only answer to “What happens after Ukraine takes back all its lost-territories?”
