What if Putin is moving troops to defend Ukraine, sounds batshit crazy but bare with me.
We all know Biden is desperate for an excuse to get American boots on the ground in Ukraine, not to help them in any way shape or form but to cover their own asses.
With Russian troops in the way it makes things a thousand times harder to achieve, Biden can't attack first without the prospect of a nuclear war, they can't move people in to do another colour revolution because the air and roads and communications are being policed by the Russians. And now the whole world is watching and the way we get information if far different than 10 years ago so it will be shared instantly if the fuckery they used to do is tried.
Again, it sounds a bit crazy but .....
The real story is far more complex. No, regardless of the propaganda, Putin will not attack Ukraine unprovoked.
There are two regions of Ukraine (predominantly Russian speaking) which self-declared independence in 2014 or so, and Ukraine has been harassing them ever since. Ukraine has been shelling them, sniping them, all well documented with videos on social media.
Russia has said that if Ukraine attacks these two overtly then they will jump in to defend them. So, this war is not Russia attacking Ukraine, its Ukraine attacking the two break away republics and Russia defending it.
Excellent point, thank you 👍
