There has been many speculations surrounding why Putin is doing what he is doing and most of them are founded on modern problems like gas and NATO. But there is one thing that has never changed and never will change:

the only way to invade Russia from the west is through Ukraine(and the baltic states, but the alliance with Belarus solves the issue on that front). The terrain is shaped like a funnel that is narrow in the west and wide open once you enter Russia. It is impossible to defend Russia if If the narrow part is not under direct or indirect control by Russia they are at the mercy of a people which they have has numerous conflicts with since the dawn of time - the Germans, the french, the Anglos etc. Today all of these are united under NATO and even if NATO is an defensive alliance it is Putins job to assume and prepare for the worst. NATO can always decide to become hostile or aggressive at some point, who knows what the future brings.


This is also the reason why Crimea is important + the naval base ans access to the Black sea. I don't for a second believe Putin gives a fuck about the ethnic Russians that make up the majority of the population Crimea and the Donbas region, since he is letting Asians immigrate to Russia en masse and have done everything to quell Russian nationalists, he is just using it as an excuse to play a geopolitical game which is securing Russias existence and his own power base.

Putin has an issue with the missile bases NATO have been building. He does not trust the West. https://www.rferl.org/a/nato-shows-off-missile-base-in-romania-calling-it-purely-defensive-/30291193.html


This guys posted some good articles. They are biased in favor of Russia, but brings up undisputed historical facts that must be taken into consideration. https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=62194a8558592&commentid=62195a633fcdd

Not an answer to all your questions; however, there is a bit of history that led to this situation:

1990 - 2013 - US Spends 5 billion to spread democracy in Ukraine

Feb 2014 - Ukraine's Democratically elected President Yanukovych is forced out in a coup organized by the US Government (Obama Admin)

Feb - March 2014 - Russia annexed the Crimea Region of Ukraine

It's so multifaceted, there isn't one single reason for why and why now.

Strategic defense has been mentioned in this thread and yes that's true and maybe the single best reason for russian military to do this. The next issue is nuclear missile silos being too close to their borders.

At best any give country has a 60% chance to stop a given ICBM the faster the missile is going, the closer the launch site to the target, and the stealth and defensive capabilities of the missile all cause that to decline. in essence russia can't let bordering nations join NATO because nato might create another Cuban missile crisis and if russia tries to fight off those border countries article 5 is activated by NATO, WW3 starts and nuclear war is likely.

Russia needs to keep it's stalemate in place and nato is foolishly undermining it.

The solution is to get all Russian border nations not allied with russia to make their own mutual defense pact which precludes nukes and NATO allegiance. Russia is unlikely to want total war with all of its euopean neighbors and they lack the ability or will to conquer russia.

Another issue is cultural subversion for the purpose of economic, military, and ethnic subversion

Globohomo culture cancer exists to disarm and enthrall; Putin can't let border nations, especially those speaking the same language and of the same ethnic and cultural roots, fall to this disease which seeks to destroy russia lest the rot spreads into russia.

Yes. That's pretty much it.

Any further and they also would be using Euros in Ukraine and it would be over. The biggest kike trick is to get your enemy using your money. Very hard to extract after that.

I can answer some of these:

3. Almost certainly yes. Nordstream 2 coming online means that the petrodollar has genuine competition in the energy market for the first time in almost a century. They couldn't allow it to happen. Germany has shut NS2 down for now due to bad PR. I doubt they want to because it would make them an enormous powerbroker but they don't really have a choice.

4. Yes, they've been rumbling about it for years. I suspect they wanted to kick it off during the Hillary Clinton presidency but then Trump was elected. They kicked off the "russia hacked the election" narrative the moment he won. That was a pre-prepared op.

5. Here's my inkling: The lockdowns were created to massively inflate the money supply in western countries and at the same time drive smallholders out of business. As a result the big boys could step in and snap up any inflation-proof assets they liked, while regular people were locked up at home unable to spend and drive up inflation.

The moment all those financial deals were done, the crisis was over any the media forgot viruses existed. The next phase in the plan is to cover up the inflation/economic crash with a war, so everyone blames Russia rather than blackrock. This will also cause an energy crisis which will be used to justify energy rationing.

After the war, the rationing won't go away. They'll go full global-warming on us and push harder and harder energy rationing tied into social credit and the progressive stack. Eventually you'll have to meme for the government just to keep the lights on.

And hey presto, great reset and global communism.

6. Yes? Everyone involved in this "crisis" is tied to the WEF and similar.

You're not going to stick me with them are you?
People, in general do (and TRY to predict) what's gonna happen next, due to PAST experience. People LOOK at current intentions and wonder what step 2 will be. They decide, and BLAMO!

US Biolabs is probably inflaming the situation. Would you want a bunch of Russian biolabs in Mexico?

The answer to this can be researched by looking at the former nations of the Soviet Union.
"After the Cold War ended, and Germany reunited in 1990, there was a debate in NATO about continued expansion eastward. In 1999, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic joined NATO, amid much debate within the organization and Russian opposition. Another expansion came with the accession of seven Central and Eastern European countries: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. These nations were invited to begin membership talks during the 2002 Prague summit, and joined NATO shortly before the 2004 Istanbul summit. Albania and Croatia joined on 1 April 2009, prior to the 2009 Strasbourg–Kehl summit. The most recent member states to be added to NATO are Montenegro on 5 June 2017 and North Macedonia on 27 March 2020."

Yes

1/4. "So was NATO a real threat"? Look at NATOs weak response, in the face of blatant aggression on European soil. Look at how hard they're trying to avoid actually entering the war. Look at how they keep emphasizing they won't put boots on the ground. That should tell you all you need to know about whether NATO was really a threat. Putin may well believe they were. But these the paranoid delusions of a schizophrenic madman. Nobody ever wanted a war with a nuclear nation. The bases are defensive. And the reason they are needed, you can see playing out right now.

2. Do some research on how things went for Crimea, after their referendum to join Russia. They were promised a return to Soviet glory, and they ate it up. Look where it got them, even before this war broke out in full. Business gone, infrastructure failing. Nothing but problems. Just like every other region Russia subjugates. Just like the reasons the USSR fell apart in the first place.

The West has gotten infested with wokism and degeneracy. But that is a recent development, and it will not last forever. The prosperity the West brings, however, that has been and will continue to be consistent.

3. Russia oil and gas export is half or more of their entire economy. Having Europe be dependent on them for it also gives them considerable leverage. But there was no need to really worry about Ukraine in this context, since he was getting NordStream2 direct to Germany anyway. That's gone now. Don't think he expected that.

5. February 23rd is "Defender of the Fatherland" day in Russia, where they celebrate their victory in WW2. Starting his "denazification" of Ukraine precisely now has strong symbolic meaning, and hijacks the patriotic spirit that comes with the holiday. Here's Zhirinovsky declaring this is exactly when it would happen back in December '21: https://a.pomf.cat/rnfnfa.mp4

6. NWO/WEF is basically the modern day aristocracy. You will find their strings all over the place, including attached to Putin. Just like in olden times, all the leaders being basically related and part of a club does not preclude the forming of rebels and cliques that end up going for each others' throats. On the contrary, it makes their disagreements and ensuing conflicts more personal to them. The financial system was already on the brink of a crash without this conflict, so it's likely this will push it over the edge. Whether that's the purpose of the conflict, or the opportunity that enabled it, or completely coincidental... your guess is as good as anyone's.
