Did putin start this war because he was tipped off?
By a mole in our government that they had evidence against him and TFG's criminal activities, and it was going to be exposing them ...
Now explain Putin biting off the Crimean Peninsula
in 2014.
Here's what I think is going on:
1. Putin fancies himself the
Restorer of the Russian Empire;
2. Putin knew from 2014 and from
LIEden's Afghanistan debacle that
LIEden is incapable of decisive, timely, well-planned action;
3. Putin decided to attack, deciding on whether to take a bite or take the whole country as events progress.

3. No, this follows a pattern of Russia invading neighboring countries.
They were successful at taking Crimes. Putin invaded Georgia as well. He can't stand a democracy being on his border.
However, all the efforts Putin has laid through undermining democracy through social media, lobbying, and bribery of rw European and American politicians have gone up in smoke.
OK, color me impressed. Somebody pointed out reality as early as the third Reply. Predictably, reality was ignored in preference for absurdity, and
