And here is the over all capper. If you believe that Putin gives 2 chits about anyone living outside of Russia regardless of their ethnic heritage then if brains were gasoline you wouldn't have enough to drive a piss ants go kart around a cheerio.
It's just an excuse to invade people. He wants to retake the countries that he considers part of the classical Russian empire. End of list.
If you read up on BRICS and the global south, you'll learn that Russia (and China) have no need to invade countries to bring them into their sphere of influence. Countries are lining up to be a part of the BRICS coalition.
Their first order of business is to form a system of trade that operates without using the U.S. Dollar.
The crazies who control the Biden administration froze multi billions of U.S. Dollars that belonged to Russia when the Ukraine/Russia conflict went hot. By doing so they demonstrated to the world that U.S. Dollars aren't a secure source for storing a country's wealth. So a big chunk of the world is looking for an alternative currency. The U.S.A. is about 32 trillion dollars in debt and is borrowing more money from the Federal Reserve every day, so the U.S. Dollar is getting to be a bad bet, anyway.
That's where the real problem for the U.S.A. is going to come from. The Dollar is going to lose world reserve currency status.
That's not going to change regardless of what happens in Ukraine,...and that's the big problem that's resulted from America's involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
But then, the crazies who control the Biden administration are flooding the U.S.A. with millions of illegals, anyway. So there's really no U.S.A. left. The piece of land is still here. But the nation that resided on it is fractured beyond repair.
Anyway, a *big* part of why Russia has drawn the line is because it doesn't want the west exporting its clown world mess into the east. Ukraine is just where the flare up occurred,....beginning with Obama's administration in 2014,....when the crazies were controlling him.
Long post,...didn't intend for it to be this long, but when you start talking about how fugged up things are, it takes a while. It could be a hell of a lot longer and still not cover everything that's fugged up in the U.S. these days. But I don't like to type all that much anymore.
