I've heard someone even claim that Putin is very humanitarian in his bombing. It's quite simple - NATO did not threaten Russia with violence, let alone invade. The boots of Russian soldiers crossed the border. So it is very clear who is the attacker. Talking yourself out of this simple fact leads to cognitive dissonance.

They also keep telling me that Crimea held a referendum. Yeah, _after_ the Russian military annexed the island, so that the Russians were the only poll observers. And the referendum had no option for simply remaining part of Ukraine. They left the choice of "do nothing, we like it this way" off of the ballot! The Russians reported a record turnout of 83-89%, with a mind-boggling 97% choosing to join the Russian Federation. 🥴 In Putin's Russia, ballot mark *you*!
