I usually try to avoid politics in my videos and essays because things change so rapidly these days and the slant from all media sides distorts so much of what can be proven that it makes it very time consuming to sort out fact from fiction. However, that being said I will take some time to try and sort our what really happened in Ukraine beginning in early 2013 through 2014 that makes Putin think he was justified to attack that country. I only do this since an online friend accused me of falling for Western propaganda as it relates to the events surrounding this catastrophic war that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives over the last decade on both sides.
