"We" are of course the free world - for context from today's paper see 
for instance:

As was noted: Taiwan next.

The overarching context - as context seems to be such a hot term - is 
trade war and the electrification of consumer civilization.

Making this about "Putin", i.e. a single person and his "unlawful" acts, 
is beyond intellectually lazy reductionism. It is ridiculous, even, 
unless, perhaps, performed as a deliberate act of distraction from the 
bigger picture.

Indeed, it's probably what that chat robot would say....
