  1. my view on why Putin invaded Ukraine , well Putin already had a disposition of hating the Zelensky gov and always looked to Ukraine as younger brother to Russia, and a combination of cabin fever from isolation from Covid, the medication he is getting from his supposed illnesses plus covid medication, also from the erroneous info he is being given by his advisors on the Ukrainians along with his view that he would like to leave a legacy comparable to Peter the great and he feels he is not long for the world and would like to make the conquest of Ukraine a centerpiece of his legacy. Probably Putin was told by his advisors that the Ukrainian army was so shit and the Ukrainian people support Russia that he would conquer Ukraine in 3 days to 3 weeks......LOL.....now the war is now on its 3rd year and a bloody stalemate with 550K Russian casualties and the Russians controlling roughly 20 percent of Ukraine. and 80 percent of the Russian army trying to defeat Ukraine.

  2. without Putin, my view Russia goes back to the 90s but this time its worse as the oligarchs control the Russian gov and economy backed up by their PMCs. The Russian mlitary is heavilly discredited and is a shell of its former self and is a joke, the real Russian military are the oligarch PMCs. The Russian oligarchs cooperate to keep things stable so all of them can profit and they can exploit the Russian economy and resources. The USA and China supports the oligarchs and plays a great game of influence among them. The Russian gov are made up of puppats of hte oligarchs and is extremely corrupt. Russian economy is in permanent recession with hyperinflation so much so that the Russians do not accept the Russian ruble but the USA Euro and even gold and Crypto. Russia becomes a massive failed narco state where criminal foreign and domesitc take advantage of a weak divided corrupt Russian gov and military by setting up base in Russia and use Russia as a smuggling hub of drugs and military grade weapons into Europe as well as manufacture and processing of illicit narotics and weapons . as well as human trafficking. vey high crime rates and unemployment and a depressed econmy prompt millions of Russians to run to Europe and elsewhere.

  4. I think the war hinges on who wins the USA elections in 2024 who controls senate congress and white house if Kamala wins and the dems gain control of the senate and congress its GOOD NIGHT IRENE for the Russians in Ukraine.
