What? I think you missed the point. To clarify, Penguin gave a nuanced take of a complex situation. Most people tend to resort to binary thinking. Russian propaganda, by it's very nature, would also egange in a very pro-war, anti-Ukranian, binary position. The invasion is clearly wrong, no question. My heart breaks for the Ukrainian people, truly (I'm not just saying that). But we still must be careful of superimposing a Lord of the Rings style moral binary on a multifaceted, geopolitical situation. Let me clarify: the invasion is wrong, a crime. I care about the common people who get caught up in this geopolitical chess game. This includes the Russian soldiers, many young, who have been radicalised by the propaganda you speak of.
