Noel, that interview with the pope is so interesting. For a long time, I think I can't be alone in saying that we should have negotiated properly with Putin before Feb 24. This was the Pope's words and it chimes with mine:
>>>>
He added: "We do not see the whole drama unfolding behind this war, which was, perhaps, somehow either provoked or not prevented."
The Pope also reiterated that the arms industry in the West is benefitting from the bloodshed: "I also note the interest in testing and selling weapons. It is very sad, but at the end of the day that is what is at stake," he said in the interview.
>>>>>
I think it was provoked AND unprevented. I don't condone Russian cruelty and ruthless actions and pardon him for the deaths but facts are facts. Putin is not the only one with blood on his hands.
