Yikes, what myopic American exceptionalism completely bereft of historical context. It is dishonest, frankly. Putin may be a war criminal but so is every US president since WW2. Ignoring history is why propagandized Americans are so stupid. Wars are promoted for bank profits, not the stated nonsense, have been for a very long time. We'll have to dig deeper if we want to see the end of wars. Not a theory, a historical fact. Follow t he money.
