There have been multiple folks who have appropriately critiqued the article. There are no justifications for Russia's actions, and Putin's claim to be saving Ukraine from Nazis demonstrate, by itself, how spurious his justifications are. Those who say NATO provoked the invasion by supporting Ukraine are simply ignoring the history of Russian aggression under Putin. That the west has slowly awakened to the Putin threat is late but appropriate. Your comment "Well done" to the article suggests you are missing the immorality of Putin's actions and the historical implications of ignoring overt aggression. Hence, my equating of the near tragic failures of Apollo 13 with your tragic failure to see the misguided nature of the suggestion that the invasion is the West's or NATO's fault. The cleverness of your pen name presented the opportunity to point out how your name and your flawed response suit each other. Maybe change your name?
