My own mind changed a lot since the beginning of this conflict. It unveiled so many things for me.
In the beginning I though that Russia's intelligence had failed Putin. Seeing the dusty equipment on the trains, the western unity in Ukraine defense, and the sanctions, I really thought the decision making was off.
I had no idea about 2014, or the ideologies involved. My own world view wasn't clear either, I probably had an instinctive understanding that I wasn't bonjoursie, but not in clear enough terms to seek action from it.
Zelenski was everywhere, every tech company hoisted a blue yellow flag on their homepages, Russians were denied entry in competition. Which... Don't really contribute to much on the war effort, other than propaganda.
But propaganda eventually bends to reality. Only one line of analysis could explain the whole shit altogether, and it was completely ignored by western media.
Thank you comrades for lighting the way. Thank you independent media.
