I might see it later, but let me guess:
according to Waters, Putin was concerned about NATO expansion, and the supposed coup in 2014, and Putin only wanted a buffer zone where ethnic Russians could be protected.
He ignores that much of East Europe isn't so fond of the Kremlin, that speaking Russian doesn't make one an ethnic Russian—Zelenskyy is a Russian-speaker—and in his interview with Tucker, it didn't seem to be about NATO but of Russians like Putin not respecting Ukraine as an actual nation.
Perhaps too I'm biased against Waters: this rich arrogant know-it-all who AFAIK hasn't released a decent song in over 35 years—David Gilmour seemed the more talented one—also Waters's Wikipedia page seems to indicate a streak of antisemitism—no offense to the British, but they haven't faced an existenttial threat in 100s of years and might have killed more Arabs since 1948 than have Israelis.
What is his solution for European Jews—stay in Europe so they could be slaughtered more?
Fucking arrogant asshole, that Roger Waters.
