Don't you think both are in the wrong?
Nobody with even half a functioning brain cell thinks Zelenskyy is responsible for this war or is in the wrong. This is entirely Putin's little pipe dream to rebuild the Soviet Union by violently invading and trying to subjugate other countries.
Put yourself into his shoes for a moment. If you were the leader of a country you're proud of, swore to protect and lead, who is responsible for everyone within it, would you just sit there idly when a neighbouring country comes along and invades, murdering your citizens and trying to erase your country through genocide? Would you just roll over and try to appease them when they have no intention of negotiating? Zelenskyy made the choice to fight back, because it is the right thing to do.
Zelenskyy is fighting for his country's right to exist. He is fighting to stop his own people, including children, from being raped, murdered, sent to work camps, or forcibly integrated into Russia. He is fighting to stop his country's culture from being erased. If you think that's wrong, then something must be very, very wrong with you instead.
It's way more complicated than you are aware of.
Because you aren't open to conversation. You just want to quip that you have secret knowledge and everyone else is an idiot, and smugly feel superior as you read Russian propaganda.
