I agree that geopolitics can be complex. My point is that the moral and legal core of this war is not. Understanding context should never blur responsibility.

This war is not complex: it is an unprovoked invasion driven by fear, lies, and authoritarian power. Ukraine is fighting not just for its territory, but for the principle that borders cannot be changed by force.

It looks that way. His actions consistently align with Russian interests. If they hold kompromat, it would explain a lot.

Tariffs don’t work:
– Ronald Reagan: “Trade wars begin when demagogues wave the flag.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt dismantled Smoot-Hawley after it deepened the Great Depression.
– Bill Clinton opened markets with NAFTA.
– Barack Obama: “We don’t win with closed doors.”

The Budapest Memorandum did not foresee todays economic power plays or demands for control over natural resources. It was an agreement focused on nuclear disarmament and security guarantees, not on trade, aid, or resource management.
