Unlikely Putin is that powerful.
Fires are easy to start.
Just one person, or a very few could have set them all.
Could be our home grown eco-terrorists, Russian(s) or Russian stooge, Muslims, Reconquista, union thugs, Antifa, the FBI and/or CIA, all of the above, or some other individual or group.
There are so many crazies in the world now, determining which crazy, or group is a challenge.
Due to the present state of our own FBI and CIA, if it is them or a leftist group they sympathize with, we will never know.
Purposeful destruction via WEF/Globalist scum.
Far more dangerous than Putin.
That, too, is True.
I wonder if GloboHomo and Deep Swamp have anything to do with it?
They operate freely in the US and Western Europe.
The Romans pushed their borders all the way into Scotland with Antonine’s Wall. They couldn’t defend it, so they fell back to the more formidable Hadrian’s Wall
So what were Rome’s legitimate borders? Certainly, they extended out a lot farther than Italy.
America is quickly morphing from republic to empire, so our borders are wherever our elites take us.
I know where hubris takes “leaders” and nations.
Georgia Guidestones.
And there is the problem and the answer to your mystery.
It is the second New Thing in your comprehensive list of possibilities.
The Fires are the other New Thing.
The Wagner group has been spending a lot of time in Africa, and the Russian embassy in Ethiopia is being bombarded by Ethiopians volunteering to fight for Russia in Ukraine. It seems probable that Russia has been laying the groundwork for a move on countries in Africa, no doubt to gain access to their resources. Starving people tend to favor the people who feed them.
Russia may be targeting Africa, but I still think China is long-gaming Russia.
Attacking your belligerent’s food supply is standard war making has been for thousands of years. The USA used agent Orange in Vietnam, the USA also blew up dams all across Germany to flood fields. The Japanese blew dikes in China to destroy rice fields. The Romans salted the earth literally. Sherman famously burnt down everything he could in the south fields and all. Hitting the food supply is SOP for warfare. If your enemy is hungry they are weaker and more likely to surrender. Biological warfare is next on the list up from food supply. You infect cattle, chickens and pigs with bioagents to kill them off or cause a mass culling if that doesn’t work you target the population with plague,or some other bacteria the Japanese did it in WWII during the middle ages captured rats which carried plague and dead diseased cattle would be flung over the walls into a sieged city. They didn’t know about bacterium at the time but they did know that those things carried death on them.
Actually, that I’d be inclined to lay at the feet of the democrats through the activities of blm and antifa.
Or the FIB or other entities.
Well at least you stopped pushing the absurd lie that Putin was do this to liberate and help the Russian speaking people.

Not absurd. Still true. Russians are used to suffering and misery. You just do not have the Russian perspective. Putin is freeing Russian-speakers for other things - he does not care if they are dead; its not going to be known to the public in the Rodina.
When food prices here make basic nutrition inaccessible to the average American, this administration will blame Putin while shipping massive food supplies to Ukraine. I’m sure anyone who prepares for this eventuality will be labelled a “hoarder” and be subject to criminal prosecution for violating unwritten laws. Likewise for anyone who sells food for its actual market value when it becomes scarce. Of course this will only further the scarcity.
