I have to ask, and I haven't seen this talked about much. See what you think about the likelihood of this scenario.
Trump was totally in bed with Putin. Increasingly we're getting at Trump's financial stuff and all the other shit he's been up to. We will soon tie Trump directly with Putin and Putin knows that.
So Putin is well aware that he's going to be exposed and the world is going to turn against him even more. So by attacking Ukraine now, he sends a message that you don't fuck with him. He's willing to kill people. He's willing to use his military in whatever way he needs to to defend his power.
And in his thinking, no one will have the balls to confront a crazy guy like him. He's got nukes. He's got advanced aircraft and missiles. He's about to show you how he's going to use the aircraft missiles, and you can bet he wants you to be afraid of his nukes as well.
As I'm reading, they've got this a2/ad capable stuff where they can basically control an area and there's no way you're going to fight them back easily. They've got advanced missile systems to defend the area and advance communication systems. So they're going to go right into the middle of Ukraine, and control it militarily.
Then as all the scandal stuff breaks open with trump, he can play war games.
This is pretty scary shit. I hope I'm wrong. I just can't find where there's any holes in what I just said.

(9,966 posts)pull in Putin, NK, Bullrosa and others the like. Manufacturing the axis of evil and us being a part of it. Once Biden won, he is no hold bar and doing what the fuck ever.

(25,212 posts)1st off, he gets a SWITLESS response, no international trade you you! Then he better hope his military is better than the Wests....I'm thinking, nope. This is a world-class bluff. He has no cards to play. Russia is falling apart and a war in Okraine ain't making things better for Puttie or Russia.
