Putin played a bloody game in-behalf of the west and everyone was blaiming  Putin not the west !
Let's observe what happened during the last months carefully.
The Russian Invaded the border of Ukraine and stuck in first steps ! President Zelenski received Billions of dollars from the West to become a Hiro and more closer to Israel! 
The West confiscated the wealth of all Russian oligarchs living overseas. previous Putin colleagues in the KGB were a serious threat for him to stay in power! 
The Chinese Road and Belt project stuck totally after billions of dollars of expenses they paid to make it happen!
Who's the winner ? 
First place West (USA) , Burned chineses as much as they could !
Second place, Putin knocked down all of the Russian politicians who had power to compete with him! 
In 3rd place Zelenski Acted as good as an actor! and the Oscar of Political act will go to him!
Losers: World nations , in particular  Ukrainians and Russians, paid this game expenses with their life and money and many other things, and were wounded because of everything politicians would like to do except humanity!
Hope very soon to see the end of this bloody game!
