When you understand what's really happening the political situation in the world makes more sense.
Here's what's happening: There is a beast power. That power has as one of it's goals the destruction of nations with national identities and national goals. Putin refuses to play along.
Another goal is to export the homosexual lgbtq whatever agenda to every nation. If you stand against it as a nation you're ostracized. Putin has done that.
Yet another goal is to bleed capital out of prosperous countries. They're doing this all the time with the US and with Russia. Green policies are just one way they do this.
Now here's the big one...this beast is fed by starting and financing wars all over the earth. They goaded Putin and made it impossible to do anything but do what he did.
Why? Because Donald Trump shut off the spigot of graft, bribery and corruption by refusing to enter the US into any protracted conflicts. So these "nations" that support the beast, USA included, are back to business as usual within the defense industry. Congressmen get kickbacks and bribes for allocating billions of dollars for "weapons" and "aid". It's really just how they made money.
Not one person in this entire fiasco cares one little bit for the humanitarian aspect of Ukraine/Russia. The only thing they care about is sending more money and more weapons so they can enrich themselves.
China is certainly the player that is pulling all the strings on this. They own so many US politicians including Xiden. Trump knows this. That's why he was so adamant about putting China in it's place. And the beast in response unleashed biowarfare against the world in order to get rid of Trump.
This is not about Putin and ukraine. This is about not feeding the beast.
Putin wants to control Europe’s oil and gas supply so he can control Europe. Plus he likes money.
Thus the invasion of Ukraine.
