As a person from Russia, who follows news, I must say that your summary is most excellent. You have really covered the bases and laid out all the possibilities.

Despite being from Russia, I consider this war -- and starting ANY major war like Iraq or Yugoslavia -- to be wrong. I absolutely hate what is happening and my heart aches at the fighting and innocent people.

We are all assuming that Putin will lose this war. If he wins it, the consequences will be very upsetting to think about.

But assuming that he will lose it, it is possible that he was tricked into it like Saddam was tricked into taking over Kuwait.

The US greatly benefits from today's events and isnow having a chance at extending its global dominance -- if Putin loses.

For sure I cannot possibly know, but to me the important indication is that Putin also pushed vaccine mandates and passports.

The mass covid vaccinations arguably made things worse and the mandates had nothing to do with public health. The fact that Putin walked in lockstep with the west and China on this most important issue makes me think he is rather a part of the plan rather than some sort of contender.

To control the population it is better to split the world again: have two separated superpowers which will be playing enemies so that their respective citizen-slaves do not get those dangerous ideas for self-government, real freedom, equality and collaboration. The timing was perfect as well - the covid scare is unravelling and the vaccine failure and side effects are getting harder to hide. Even the MSM was slowly accepting it because of the sheer impossibility to hide it anymore. Now nobody talks covid, but behind the scenes the vaxx passports are being advanced.

So shortly, I think this is just the next part of the play and Putin is playing according to the script. The real war is not between countries or blocks but rather between the elites, the super rich, and the rest of us.
