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.

Is it possible that Putin simply feels threatened by the globalists orchestrating The Great Reset? I don’t see a New World Order as something in which he’d ever willingly participate. Covid has definitely ushered in the threat of global social credit scores and digital currency. I don’t see China going along with it either, but Xi is rumored to be one of Schwab’s “kids”. Who knows.

The more general 'why now' is to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO, the more specific 'why now' is that this is the optimal balance of power; waiting a few months would mean a substantially stronger Ukraine defense in terms of anti-aircraft, anti-tank capacity.

Thank you for pointing out so many of the factors in this conflict that goes beyond the "Good Guy, Bad Guy" thing. As I understand in Chernobyl, it makes sense for both countries to not fight in an area where radiation will indiscriminately kill both sides.

11 watch Caspian Report he's called Yemen, Crimea, Indo-china skirmish all correctly. He basically uses Stratfor Geopolitical analysis... A.k.a. your geography is your destiny. I sponsored him (as I do you) 8 years ago when his channel was small. His "understanding the Russian mindset" video changed my understanding of the situation and ability to predict things. The video's 7 years old, yet it's timeless. https://youtu.be/HE6rSljTwdU

He has other newer more specific ones on Ukraine.

Putin said in his inauguration year that the breakup of the USSR was the biggest mistake in modern Russian history and the piss-head Yeltsin should never have allowed it especially in the way he did. He's been restabilising Russia for 22 years.

I remember 25 years ago when everyone worried how old Russian nukes could get bribed out into fundamental ismalic hands and dirty nukes could level New York. That's how much of a mess Russia was in. No more. Diss Putin all you like the long-play on oil and gas has worked. They subverted Western and EU energy policy, and now are cash rich. I'm typing this from a 5 star resort in Mexico (no vax no test entry) and the place is chock full of Russians.

I, too, question why now. I have Russian friends who can provide any number of reasons and justifications but not one would explain the rush.

Nearly everyone in the west is now proclaiming to "stand" with Ukraine without even realizing they are simply choosing side. You can guarantee there are numerous Russians making the same proclamation but choosing a different faction within Ukraine. Until those in the west realize they have been duped, I see little hope for a true lasting peace.

"Did the Kremlin get intelligence of a biological threat in one of these biolabs?" Well, at least one of the labs stored dangerous pathogens from the soviet era. Check out at about 1:10 here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ9cCqChMLs

Putin is nearly 70 and this is his legacy. He will soon be too old for a major campaign like this to bolster the Russian empire. I think he wants to go down in history as Vlad the Great and keeping Russia's enemies away from the Russian heartland will make him a great hero of Russia. Russian children will be told about him for centuries and admire such a great hero and savior of Russia. Statues will be everywhere of Putin. Maybe St. Petersburg will be renamed St. Putinsburg. That is my best guess.

Literally all of the above, just look at what China and Russia have been doing and what this war will cascade off.

Feb 24, 2022: Moderna CEO on Russia invading Ukraine, new COVID variant.

In a shocking interview with Maria Bartiromo, Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel admits it’s possible that Moderna patented DNA could be in the Corona Virus. The patented DNA was originally designed for cancer research. Bancel has reportedly sold 10 million dollars of stock in Moderna and also deleted his Twitter account which Snopes has said was no big deal.

With rising energy prices due to this conflict, Russia will likely recover financially so I wonder if this is an attempt to change public opinion and distraction about Biden/elections.
