Can you tell me his thoughts, so I can comment on what I think about them?
I did read part of an essay he wrote about his purpose in attacking Ukraine, why he wanted to establish dominance over the West, but I don't remember it much. I mean I think there was something about capitalism being the evil empire and it being unfair how America and ended up becoming dominant. I don't really unequivocally hate everything Putin thinks like most Westerners, I'm kind of a sympathizer...I don't really have a strong opinion on what's best between socialism and capitalism, but I actually tend toward democratic socialism myself. But I know Russia is rather authoritarian which I don't like. But it's probably not as bad as it's made out to be by Western propaganda and ideology. As for whether Putin should have attacked Ukraine or should try to take over the world, I understand his motives, but I think he shouldn't, not only because war is inherent tragic but because his ambitions could lead to a global nuclear war, which would be utterly catastrophic.
