You still don't get the basic concept of the difference between stating what you THINK somebody is thking vs actually thinking that yourself.

If I was a detective and claimed that evidence points to the serial killed believing all blonde women should be killed, that doesn't mean I personally think blonde women should be killed.

You seem to devoid of imagination and ability to think in nuance to grasp the difference.

The idea that another person could have a different perception of reality than yourself seems to be an utterly foreign concept.

Putin didn't grow up in Iowa reading superman comics. He grew up in the USSR and got brainwashed by the system to think about the world in a different way from you and me.

Should a robber with a gun to your head get to decide whether you hand over your money to him or not? Morally speaking, absolutely not. Practically speak, yes!

Did the USSR have a right to force Finland to stay out of NATO? Absolutel not, but by agreeing to that Finland got to remain and independent country, with their own elections, free speech and prosperity. To get that they had to sacrifice their right to join NATO. Was if fair? Absolutely not. What is worth it? Hell yes!

Finland could never have defeated the Soviet Union and nobody was willing to come to their aid. They could have fought to the last man had very "glorius" deaths. But I think their choice of peace minus NATO was worth it.

This is the world we live in. We must often make compromises we don't think are fair and which are not fair, but where the alternative would often have been worse.

Americans have no idea what this means, because their nation has never faced any existenial threat. Americans have never had to make hard choices like that.
