Putin's North Korean Soldiers

[sahgwa]

It's war, is it not expected both sides will spy and try to sabotage each other?

If you listen to Putin, his rhetoric leans to escalation not to peace talks. At least, that is how I am reading him.

I am pleased to see that unlike some others on this thread you are able to take a more nuanced view and appreciate the grey nature of this conflict and how both sides are at fault.  So many like to whitewash the Ukraine as nothing but the innocent victim and Russia as the idiotic bully when it is far far deeper than that. 
I just find it hilarious that any evidence of Ukrainian or god forbid Beloved NATO wrong doing is forgotten or ignored by many here.
I find it funny they would blow up Nordstream on their own .  It is all shades of Operation Gladio (hiring nationalists and fascists in Europe against the USSR in the 'good ol days' )
