I'd like to post a few links with opinions on the #ukraine war, which I got from my friends. The first one is a Ted speech by Yuval Harari.

Initially I accepted this bright and emotional opinion, my only question was about Putin's motivation. IMO Harari over-simplifies it to 'Putin wants to invade Ukraine because it what's dictators do'. Later I agreed with an opinion that H also completely ignores motives like desire to stop NATO expansion for some unknown reason.
