I must admit it's been rather discombobulating to see the usual libertarian or right-leaning people I follow/talk to suddenly become massive fans of Putin, or decide that because Ukraine has shared history with Russia, was a part of the Soviet Union etc, they cannot be allowed to be an independent country. There just seems to be a lot of tribalism, black and white thinking e.g. If the mainstream media supports Ukraine, I must therefore support Russia. That's not to say there hasn't been propaganda, or that Ukraine is some perfect country with perfect politicians, but I cannot understand the levels of support I'm seeing for an invading force taking a country against the will of its people, no matter what NATO has or hasn't done.

Hi Helen. I like how you think. I have been following the situation in Ukraine and Russia from the time the Berlin Wall came down. It has been so interesting. Especially during the Maidan. I stayed up all night and day to watch the streams that came out of that country during that time
