[COLOR=#006FAE]NO!!! I have mentioned in previous posts that I don't follow the mainstream news sources. I am not sure what narrative is being presented from those outlets. I did listen to a discussion recently that reminded me that I need to check myself when thinking about this situation and deciding which side of the issue I support. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#006FAE]I live in the United States. Prior to the 2020 Presidential Election cycle, I would consider myself fairly well informed on what was going on with US foreign relations. In my country's history and epically during my lifetime, my country has been involved in military engagements in a lot of different places but not always for justifiable reasons. The United States has never, to my knowledge, been removed from international sport. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#006FAE]I am not ready to declare Putin a bad guy. I would love to have a conversation with him to understand his perspective more clearly. I just hate hypocrisy. As I see it, if it is okay for leaders in my country to do it, then as a matter of fairness, my default position can't be to condemn another country's leader for doing the same (or similar) thing.
