Apart from the hardcore in the KGB, I don't you'll find anyone defending or supporting Putin's action...period.
Up and down, across the country, people are clearly upset with the scenes coming out of Ukraine, loss of 1 life is 1 life lost too many!!
At time of the 1st Gulf war, people believed what they were told or what they saw on the TV, with advent of the Internet and Social media platforms, people get to see, hear and read different versions of a story or an event.
For example, the on-going conflict, here in the West its being reported completely different to how its being reporting in the Middle East, Asia, Far East and other place. People are a lot more savvy and streetwise, knowledgeable and have info at hand, people these days do not swallow what they hear or see, especially with UK/US track record.
We in the West/US are not angelic, we together with the US, invaded Iraq under the guise of going in to seek and destroy WMD, what did we find? ZERO
Saddam was toppled, was that not regime change? which is against international law, we split the country half, resulted in civil war, Suni vs Shia Muslims, left the country in tatters, carnage, hundreds thousands died, where was the wall to wall coverage? Where was the out crying for those dead children? I guess they didn't matter, because they weren't close to our shores, I guess they didn't matter because they were in a far away land, and I guess they didn't matter because they were non-white and of a different religion?
The likes of Blair, Bush and others should take a deep hard look in the mirror, think of the untold carnage they caused to protect 'Western Interests'
