Ukraine posed no immediate threat to Russia. However, Putin wanted to cement his legacy as a fighter for the Motherland. Another Uncle Joe Stalin. A killer in his own right, Stalin wiped out twenty million large during his purge. Putin sees Ukraine as Stalin saw collaborators. Therefore, Ukrainians must be butchered once and for all. According to him, they tasted the good life, the dolce vita, this was the threat.
To counter the threat, Putin’s dog whistle or false flag was the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO. This would put them on Russia’s western flank; a threat that could not be solved by talk, but only by invasion. Hence, Putin put in motion the Invasion under false pretenses
The world stands by, not getting involved in the ground action, so not to intimidate the mad man to go nuclear. They are, however providing weapons to Zelenskyy. The way to prevent more devastation is to bring the fight to Russia. A few missiles into Russian territory would be a wake up call. Better yet is a scorch earth of the Russian parade of tanks, armored vehicles and battalions that are queuing toward Kyiv.
Currently, Putin’s thrust is to bomb, bomb and bomb, softening up the belly of the beast in front of them. The world waits for the final battle. How many lives will be wasted in this non-called for Invasion, WHERE IS BRANDEN? The World stands by waiting! They are afraid of a Nuclear catastrophe. The only reason they have not acted to stop Russia’s Hitler. Ukraine is the new Sudetenland.
