When important actors of the great powers declare Putin "crazy", they want to imply that they do not see Russia as guilty, but only its leader. Maybe even invite the inner circles to isolate him and remove him from power, to come to peace faster. The war in Ukraine marks a new geopolitical period. While the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the end of the Cold War and, for some liberal commentators, the "end of history," the War in Ukraine marks the resumption of history where it left off. So, the end of the "neoliberal peace". There were commentators, among them Albanians, who, inspired by banal neoliberal economicism, wrote that the war in Ukraine would not happen, even a few days before it started, on February 24.
The argument was just a Brazil Telegram Number Data repetition of the Clinton joke "it's the economy, stupid!". War is expensive, they said, and an economy like Russia's cannot afford it. Then, when it happened, commentators justified themselves by saying that Russia had taken an irrational action and such are unpredictable, like the actions of a madman. Thus, Putin was declared "crazy". As usual, with the beginning of the terrible and unprovoked Russian aggression against Ukraine, there were also liberal-romantics, who began to express their surprise as to why a country with the largest territory in the world wanted a few more lands somewhere on the outskirts of own.
What does Donetsk and Luhansk have to do with Russia, which spans two continents? What does Crimea need? Even such people are never absent, they are the same ones who say "what do Albanians need unification?" or "what does northern Kosovo need?" or "what is the loss if we give a neighbor so many kilometers?". These are also inspired by a certain liberal economicism, according to which the well-being of the individual and not the territory comes first. Welfare, according to liberal-romantics, is the preservation of life, liberty, and property—in that order. Where these rights are not possible, you don't have to stay anymore, get up and go somewhere else. The point is that the unstoppable flight, the refugee of humanity, leads nowhere. Someday you have to go back and defend your home and homeland, after you decide where you have them.
