War is evil, inhuman, and I don't argue that Putin is justified. But our expansion of NATO to Russia's borders, including an offer of membership to Ukraine, was a provocation with a foreseeable result. Deliberately provoking an invasion makes the inciter (the West) share moral responsibility with the invader. Also, the media's Ukraine narrative is racist in ignoring the atrocities we are helping the Saudis inflict on Yemen.
