Only a fool would say Russians were good and Americans were bad. This is why it is important to rely on facts. Whatever flaws the Russians may have they are benign compared to American hegemonic wars and slaughter over half a century.

And the facts make it clear the Russians wanted peace and to be a part of Europe after the Soviet Union fell and the Americans would allow neither.

It is very clear from words and actions that the Russians are protecting their borders, do not want to annexe all of Ukraine, are protecting ethnic Russians in Ukraine and have tried to avoid this war and to stop it.

Ukraine has been a part of Russia for most of its existence. It gained independence after 1991 and that was clearly a stupid idea. Ukraine needs to work with Russia to survive and only fools think otherwise.
