We are already in Putin’s hybrid world war three (by definition on multiple continents), it began long ago.
For Ukrainian’s their hot war began 11 years ago in Crimea.
But Putin and his ex-KGB clique have been plotting since 1990 to break up ‘western’ democracy, perceived as an obstacle to making the russian empire great again. Even before Crimea, they helped to suppress the Arab Spring in Libya, and then Syria, followed more recently by helping to create and sustain multiple wars in Africa all the way across the Sahel (with aim, not just to extract minerals, but displace french influence). And his most effective weapon has been information warfare, which included pushing Brexit and Trump via social media, and similar efforts in other countries. Now it seems he’s just taken over the government of USA, and Europe stands, shakily, alone.
Zelensky ‘crime’ is just to expose the reality of this war, with simple honesty, he’s not the gambler.
