“Not so sure he wants war in Ukraine...”
Yes, he would like to return Ukraine to the sphere of Russian influence. But Putin isn’t stupid, Ukraine is an economic basket case rife with corruption, on a scale that would make even a Russian blush.
Instead, because Ukraine cannot rule itself, he can just pick off the valuable parts one at a time, as they come to him for help, and wait until the rest comes crawling, begging for rescue.
The REAL loser here is Open Society/Soros Group, IMHO. Someone is finally standing up to them. And they aren’t going to take kindly to losing the billions they have invested in causing chaos. I think this is far from over.
Actually Putin has changed the trajectory of the World Order...they thought bringing him into the International Fold and including him this would tame his intentions. They really don’t know nor have they heard the man... he’s really pretty transparent...but the EU and USA want to hear what they want to rather than what he’s actually saying.
When you put aside all the glamour posses of Putin...and his poltical appearances to appear co-operative.....there’s a man there who has a clear agenda and intent on carrying it out...and that is not necessarily taking over countries...only those who have resources he covets.
Ukraine’s fast becoming a train wreck...he may scope it up once they fall...but he had already developed plans to by pass Ukraines pipelines for oil. He doesn’t NEED Ukraine...but will ultimately not allow US missiles on their land.....thsu the deals with Ukraine are falling apart with the EU.
