Russia/Putin

I have readers from the former Soviet Union and would like to ask (if you can answer) why does Putin want war? I truly believe he would like to start some military conflict where soldiers die and he makes it look like he is defending the homeland. If he does, that is the biggest lie of all time. No one in america want to have another war for no reason other than to see who has the biggest balls.

Countries with great power don't have to show it off act like a bully as they quietly know they can deal with whoever starts something. Quiet pride is what great countries have and right now, Putin ia acting like an ass. The people of Europe which also means Russia could have a far better life if their governments worked together and stopped acting like bullies. Look what has happened in the Ukraine, anything better than before? How about Georgia where Russia invaded years ago, anything better?

I would like someone in Russia or Ukraine write back and explain why things have gotten so bad so maybe the rest of us can understand. Is Putin trying to hide the fact this is all nonsense and trying to stay in power by keeping up the idea the rest of the world hates Russia? If so, that is crap and a big lie.

Let us know
