I offer this up only as a representation of *their* position. For those who don't want to read it, a very brief summary would be something like: "Russia is entirely at fault this time, but Western powers should reflect on their own roles in escalating conflicts."
Andy Hughes will no doubt enjoy an intriguing example of the "'So' rule" about two-thirds of the way in.

I am afraid I don’t trust the organisers of this one inch.
The only honest and meaningful protests are those directed at the aggressor.
This particular war is nothing whatever to do with NATO expansion but it seems largely one man’s desire to obliterate a democratic country and impose his will on it regardless of the human cost.
The rest is just noise and self pity

how wars end ( A J P Taylor) is worth a read
1917 - Trotsky just said - after talks failed - we just stop fighting. and then at the peace talks - famously he added - take as much land as you want all it means is that for the next war, Germany begins nearer.
that was the one where Lenin was asked - have the army voted for this and he answered: " The Russian army has voted with its feet".
They all think that when Kyiv falls the war will end.
Napoleon - ( where he invade den? answer 1812 - Russia) took Moscow and asked - where is the czar?
the czar never came
an he nart kom when the French burnt Moscow.
so we will have to wait and see

“ take as much land as you want all”
Trotsky of course wanted world revolution based on ideology and a very unrussian ideology at that.
Then in 1991 Yeltsin said to the Soviet republics:
“Take advantage much freedom as you want” because ironically then in the rush to leave the Soviet Union Russia was first in line.
Hard to believe now

well the war will stop sometime
it depends whether Ukraine is flat by that time
No one has mentioned Pan-slavism yet- which I find odd

since Putin's views are clearly pan-slavic
The other thing, perhaps less relevant is that henry VIII wanted his daughter ( Margaret I think) to marry the Scots King. He wanna less. So henry invaded Scotland. This was called the rough wooing.

Although well-intentioned gestures won't stop the war, I was pleased to see the mass walkout at the UN as the Russian foreign minister spoke.

That this war is happening in 21st century Europe is beyond belief.
