Pretty damn funny how Putin is now claiming he is being victimized by the western democracies when it's actually the whole point and purpose of it all as far as how the U.S. and our allies see things. Putin starts some shit, gets schooled in how to lose a war by the UKR and blames the west for killing his troops that are busy committing atrocities by his own orders.
It's like Putin is running his own version of The Big Lie blaming Biden for cheating in the war against him when in fact it is he, under his own personal directives who is losing the war he started because he mistakenly overestimated his military's abilities while underestimating the fortitude, cunning and skills of the UKR military and its peoples. Too many easy victories under his belt got him thinking Ukraine would just be another pushover nation to subjugate like the others.
