Yes, him going out of his way to defend Putin and the war when he could've just shut up is what really surprises me too.
He does not have the excuse of being someone who has a wrong view of things because he's only exposed to Putins propaganda either - for someone with full access to the actual truth of what is happening to be defending Putin these days is just evil.
