Pukin is going to invade.
“Putin says Russia recognizes Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics’” claim to the entirety of the Donbas, including the area not under occupation.”
The next step maybe to conquer the Donetsk and Luhansk regions the separatists don’t yet control.
Taking and holding the ethnic Russian regions will be easy- They will be welcomed. But the rest of Ukraine, not so much.
I should said I guess that he will I vade, but then “work something out” with Biden giving him a huge ratings boost right around midterms or the next election because he doesn’t want Trump as president. Maybe that is part of a crooked deal hiden biden and ilk have worked out with putin,, so,that Biden gets played up as “tough talkin” for a few months or years, then put in will “bow out” “because of the pressure”
I dunno if putin has it in him to bow out, but it wouldn’t surprise me if some ,ind of deal like this is going down in an effort to boost bidens ratings
