Donald "fucking crazy" Trump has lost the plot. Unless he's planning some complex secret manoeuvre to check mate Putin, he looks to be like Putin's bitch.
Some people in the population are suffering from cognitive dissonance. You're being lied to for years that something is true, which isn't.
"Ukraine is good; Ukraine is democratic; Ukraine is fighting a noble war against evil Russians who want to conquer all of Europe..." That's all nonsense.
Actually Trump got it wrong.
It's the US which started the war by doing a regime change and eventually creating animosity between Russian speakers and Ukrainians.
