Putin is not a mad dictator, he is simply a guy from another age and a Russian supremacist, like our troll be.open here. He is not mad, he understands his acts and the consequences, it is his ethics and understanding of the world, that is still anchored on the cold war and Russian supremacy that are causing this.

You clearly didn't watch his interview

You clearly believe what he says, not what he does.

....

As someone who's not from either side of war ...

Sure.

Of course I do...he said he will have to attack Ukraine if they continue to cross what he called "red lines" ...and he did
Ukraine also said they will continue to provoke him, no matter what, and they did.
Both sides were on collision path, too bad there was no good will to back off, like during Cuban crisis

Cuban crisis, you mean during the cold war? I can certainly see why you understand Putin and even seem to agree that he has some short of right over Ukraine - particularly the right to not let them choose. You are both thinking of a world that does no longer exist.
