Putin didn’t start this. Washington did.

“the occupied territories”

Interesting that the same ones behind this conflict, who use such language to reverse the optics, are the same ones who’ve enabled Israel’s flagrantly-illegal policies for decades ...

“The withdrawal of Russian soldiers and weapons from the occupied territory”
But that’s largely what this was about; eliminating one of Russia’s two foreign military bases. Here we see it is the architects of the conflict playing games, not Russia.

“Canada can play a”
