The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

It's astonishing that after everything that's happened in Ukraine, the former German leader expressed such a patently wrong view. The only person to blame for the war is Putin, who laments the collapse of the Soviet Union and wants to bring Ukraine back under his dominion.
