That does seem like a big missed opportunity. Maybe Vladad was hoping for a second term (by That Russian Asset in the Oval Room) and four more relaxed years to pursue his absolutist ambitions.
Neener.

Putin, his oligarchs, US billionaires, Murdoch, Trump's corrupted GOP, all of them must be shitting their pants when they see how much progress Biden and Democrats have managed in less than one year.

I think his strategy is to give a nudge to his allies in the GOP so that the US voting population gives Republicans a resounding victory in Congress this fall. This whole war thing is a distraction and grist for the right wing media mill to paint Democrats as war mongers.

This exactly.

I think all that crypto currency being nabbed left and right and banks being exposed in the last few months has spooked the shit out of them.

That's why I posted it.

This is a cold war, not a hot one, unless you live in an area where Putin's Russia is conducting a proxy war against the entire Western world. The imagery was meant to trigger us into envisioning WW2. IMO.

So now he's doing what North Korea is doing with his missiles. Think about that. A teensy country with zero influence in the world has one knob to turn, so they work that thing hard.

People are triggering on nuclear war. The population of Russia are practicing duck, cover and kiss your ass goodbye drills. It's scary, I'm affected too. I accept the possibility that I could be wrong but haven't yet seen what would change my mind. I still think that Russia will not invade Ukraine.

Putin has put himself into a position he can't win unless the West fucks up. He's not a genius but he is pretty smart and knows his psy ops. So, what is he doing?

Putin, his oligarchs, US billionaires, Murdoch, Trump's corrupted GOP, all of them must be shitting their pants when they see how much progress Biden and Democrats have managed in less than one year.

Good point,that's crossed my mind also,Cheeto said so much ridiculous,mind numbing shit,that I wouldn't be surprised if he'd support it due to the fact that HE didn't get the investigation into Biden that HE wanted as well as his corruption allegations,LOL talk about the pan calling the kettle black.

I knew a manager who kept a gallon-sized jar of tums on his desk. lol

The best way to relieve stress is to take positive action. Stressed about that fold of fat above the belt? Start exercising. Stressed about the threat to our way of life from those rats? Call your Senator and local chapter of the Democratic Party. If there ever was a time to be politically active, the time is now.

I think a big part of it is President Joe Rob's Asia Pivot. Putin either wanted to make sure the world was thinking about him. Or that we were so Sin-centric that we wouldn't go all in to stop him.

He can still back down and just do it again next winter/spring.

it would be a good idea to just go ahead and seize ALL russian owned properties in the u.s., crackdown on russians in the country illegally, expell most russian diplomatic staff (is there any? i've lost track at this point) and seize all monies we can get our hands on that have the faintest scent of russian laundering on them...NOW
investigate any businesses that were associated with russian properties or russian nationals, especially ones with ties directly to pootie or the oligarchs, and if they fail the examination, seize them too, sell them off and use the money to pay for russian war crimes reparations and health care costs

Doing a bad job of managing covid in your country and the people are mad at you? Oil prices got you down? And what to do with that thorn in your side, the Ukraine?

Stir things up and show the world (and your citizens) you are still a world leader of concequence.
