I think this has been Biden's plan since the beginning and personally I doubt the Russian people can or will do anything. The West, lead by America have made a horrible, obvious error. Clown President creates a nightmare world.
Biden never had a plan. Barrack's people thought they could poke Putin with no consequenses. The attack was a total miscalculation on their part.
Like Fauci & Francis Collins and Covid, not wanting to be found out as the root cause of all of this is why they had to be seen as the heroes.
But Putin surrounds himself with yes men idiots, and his military is designed for crushing 3rd world countries, not a country of computer science college graduates that love their country.
Ukraine is the human embodiment of the Hope Experiment.
Biden will not remember who he is in a couple years and neither will Ukraine, but they will like the US.
