One of the most important logics that most of us come across in this world is what I call the Provocation Logic. Provocation Cycle Logic, which is: You Made Me Do This.

Basically, we can also call it wife-beater logic. So you provoked me. You forced me to invade your country. You… And this comes into almost every statement that Putin makes. We see it countless times a day in whether it’s on Telegram chats or in other means that we come across.
