Hypocrisy?
Both-sidesing an issue as though Zelensky is in any way comparable to Putin is simply idiotic. No one is arguing the Zelensky is pure as the driven snow, but he's handled being in charge of a country being invaded remarkably well, and of the two national leaders involved, is far and away the less s**t one.
It's a common method people trying to argue the points you're arguing though.

Putin should've taken the opportunity to invade while Scomo and his assorted clowns were running the show. Having a slightly shonky leader means you can't complain if your entire country gets invaded by an authoritarian dictator right?

Why didn’t Putin invade when Trump was in power? I honestly don’t know. Given Trump would have likely not supported Ukraine the way Biden has, is this a miscalculation by Putin, or Russia didn’t get organised quickly enough? It’s odd.
Putin expected Trump to get a second term, so was waiting for Trump to sow further divide among the NATO nations, possibly pull the US out of NATO as he was talking about in early 2019.
Just one of the many miscalculations Putin made and has continued to make.

Massive miscalculation if that’s the case. Trump barely got up the first time and with everything he did it was always going to be a coin toss for a second term. I thought he’d get up to, but I wouldn’t have risked what Putin had in front of him.
Russias reaction to Chinas roadmap to peace - Russia stated its land grab had to be recognised as the new reality.
It didnt mention NATO, borders, security. It mentioned land.
Because this is and always has been a land grab.

A very costly mistake in lost army personnel and equipment which will have to be replaced at great cost

All the while the sanctions remain in place and more will be applied as time goes on it will take many many years for Russia to financially to recover from its illegal invasion of Ukraine and then we are talking about the 10's of billions if not 100's of billions to replace all the military equipment they have lost in this illegal invasion
Putin’s invasion shatters the myth of Russian-Ukrainian brotherhood
Vladimir Putin's genocidal invasion of Ukraine has shattered the myth of Russian-Ukrainian brotherhood and represents the point of no return in the relationship between the post-Soviet neighbors, writes Taras Kuzio.

Atlanticcouncil is straight out US propaganda.
