In every case, Russia moved swiftly and ruthlessly in ways the western world was unable to counter except through graduated sanctions regimes...
Putin knew that he had weak leaders in the U.S., and when the U.S. is weak, leaders around the world follow the weakness and allow bad things to happen. That was the case with Obama and that is the case again with Biden as Obama 2.0.
Putin is like any other leader who knows how to take advantage of weakness, and that is the case with just about any democrat president in Washington. Now, even N. Koraa and Iran and others are taking advantage of the weak leadership in Washington and other western nations.
Putin and Russia (as the former Soviet Union) did not dare take on any big adventures when Reagan and Trump were president. When analyzing victories, small or large, one has to look at who is the opposition. Certainly, Obama and Biden are no opposition, and in reality, they encouraged the aggression.

You have a pretty good synopsis in your whole comment. The above excerpt explains where we’re at today. We were supposed to be here by design under Clinton, but President Trump squeaked by their fraud ability. They didn’t make that error twice. So, here we are. The same people are running the show and the orchestrators of the Maidan coup are back in play again. Nukes will fly.
China is hoping so, too. Saves them from having to do it themselves. They would if they couldn’t get Russia to do it, but they can. Russia is RIPE. This war isn’t between Russia and Ukraine. This war is about who has the power to rule the world and despite what anyone believes nobody has that power. That won’t prevent them from striving to do so.
