He could have and can still stop the invasion at any time. Don't paint him as having to do something "inevitable."

This link reads to me like Putin propaganda justifying an unprovoked invasion by claiming Russia as the supposed victim of western aggression.

You can blame the experts (do google their backgrounds) cited in that article for trying to avoid this war.

So, it was unavoidable for Putin yo invade Ukraine because a few countries were joining a military club he doesn't like? And shelling and using clusters bomb on civilians was also unavoidable?
