I would be sanctioning Klaus Schwab, Soros, Gates, Fauci, Biden, Clintons, et al and their underlings, families and friends until the war stopped .... it was the NWO that engineered this war.
Simple.
Russia has been pissed off since ever the end of the Cold War, when the USSR was stripped of its vassal states like Ukraine. Without these vassal states, Russia’s economy is bordering on third world.
Since then, Putin has been waiting for a US President sufficiently weak that he could take back these former USSR territories without consequence.
The minute Biden stole that election - Putin, Xi Jinping, and every other power-happy tyrant in the world got giant war-boners.
Since ever = ever since
That.
That is why Russia has invaded Ukraine in the past.
Why should now be any different?
Probably another reason Russia would like to “own” Ukraine is that it is a capable player in aerospace.
The Antonov An-225 Mriya was built in Ukraine, the largest cargo payload airplane in the world with a wing span of a football field.

Unfortunately this aircraft was destroyed in the Russian invasion. Only one of these aircraft was built.
Thanks for this intelligence, Topcat.
What I see is an opportunity to permanently damage RussiaâÂÂs military capability. They have a small and brittle economy based mostly on raw materials and commodities and weapons. They have a military too large for their economy. They have virtually no allies. I say make them use up their military assets. DoesnâÂÂt matter what parts of their arguments are valid and what parts are not. Blow up their stuff in Ukraine and make them send more stuff and keep doing it until they got no more stuff. And also isolate them from the world economy. If we do that, I donâÂÂt care if they get Ukraine. They wonâÂÂt be able to keep it. They will never recover.
Since 2014 thr Russian Central Bank has increased its Holdings in physical gold and currencies other than the dollar. Our sanctions devaluing the Ruble and making manufactured goods more expensive will help repatriate funds held abroad to invest in domestic industry. Decoupling from western debt economies will also degrade faith in the Dollar as a reserve currency. Sanctions will hasten this process. It is already happening. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/03/russian-banks-replace-visa-mastercard-new-mri-system-partnership-chinas-union-pay/

I’ll stick with duck duck go
Wouldn’t you love to know what was discussed in talks between Biden/Blinken/Putin? Did Russia know the US would stand down and continue to buy oil, thus the nuclear threat made to give Biden shade.
[Putin is and always has been a communist. He loved the Soviet Union. He wants to return to its former glory.
Ie. He needs no reason]
Russia wants buffer states? Why doesn’t Germany get buffer states then? Why doesn’t France get buffer states? Buffer states are for Russia’s security? Seriously? Do you think that Napoleon is going to mass his troops in Poland and march on Russia? Those days are over. Russia is 4x the size of its European neighbors *combined*. It has all the security it needs, and has had it for the last 80 years. This has f***-all to do with their security. They just want to tell their neighbors what to do, and are willing to get people killed for the privilege.

Vlad invaded Ukraine because he is a senile ol effer with dreams of recreating past Czarist empires.
Old men living in the past, they send young men to war to die. In this stupid war this is true. Only senile Vlad wanted this invasion. No one else! I promise you that if you poll Vlad’s top 10 advisers.....None would invade Ukraine. Who needs the headache!
But they probably did not say so to senile Vlad, because they and their families would be executed or stripped of all wealth.
Actually I think Pootie woke one morning and said to himself what can I do to unite leftist progressive globalists with neocon globalists and toss in a few so called conservatives too
And get GOPe voters to start believing the Russia hoax Covid media again
He went ....Eureka ...I’ll invade Ukraine ..
