He/she has history of spouting Trumpist bollocks so I rather suspect that the colour of someone skin does in fact effect their judgement.

So if it’s perception what could have NATO done to allay putins fears? Re-instate the iron curtain? Handover Ukraine?
Putin is a despot. His record on human rights, suppression of the opposition and murders of opponents is fact. The OP in my IMHO is just a bit to ‘putin … he’s alright, just a...
I’m aware of the other side of the argument but if you consider putin’s track record on human rights violations, suppression of opposition and the murder of dissidents outside of Russia, you do have to ask yourself how much is fear of NATO and how much is the act of a despot.

I suspect that many in NATO thought that this was going to be a walk in the park for the Russians.

I like to think that this is down to human decency but I reckon there are few highly placed individuals who took the Putin rouble and who are desperately trying to right the wrong.
