They say as they fight desperately with billions and billons and billions of NATO weapons flooding into theater.

Which started after Russia invaded. No Russian invasion, no influx of arms.

This is the global war to extend the western financial empire to the east, break Russia and bring them under the western banking regime.

It is Russia who started a war to extend its empire over a former Imperial Russian/Soviet state. If Russia wants to stay out of the western banking system they can do that with their own laws. Invading another sovereign state does not change anything.

Russia's skin in the game is their survival.

Complete nonsense! Ukraine was never a military threat to Russian nor was there ever a threat that they would invade Russia. This would be even more so if Russia would accept a treaty guaranteeing Ukrainian neutrality in exchange for leaving Ukraine and respecting its territorial integrity.

What is driving this war is that Russia has never accepted that fact that they are no longer a great power on par with NATO, and that Ukraine is no longer a dependency to a Russian empire. If Russia were to stop trying to play as a great power and cooperate with the rest of the European states as an equal, there were would be no conflict. Notice that France and Poland no longer feel threaten by Germany. Peace between Russia and the other European states could be built on the same basis of cooperation rather than competition.

Are you so utterly blind as to what was going on? You really are an ignorant ass - or you are totally taken in by propaganda, which is about the same thing.

Russia was making billions and trillions by selling its oil and gas. This is all they needed to do for the next 100 years. Chugging along very nicely, as Russians standard of living kept going up. I give Putin lots of credit for this.

But with nasty arse Pooty, there always was a large flip side. We are seeing this now in Ukraine. This is Pooty’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde —— This Ukraine invasion came as a shock. For me, I always figured Putin was a sane moderate who would be happy with Russia’s prosperity. I think Covid and cancer ruined his mind. He is on powerful meds these days. The kind that warp your brain as side effects.
