IMHO the reason for the whole war is that NATO was expanding and threatening them. If Ukraine joined NATO they would be fucked and it would only be a matter of time before Russia was attacked.
I don't love Russia or Putin, but I think this idea that this is all about their aggression is not accurate. If they sat back and did nothing they would be screwed.
The false assumption is that Russia would think NATO would attack Russia from Ukraine. NATO would have no interest in trying to invade Russia. Would any country want to invade Russia? I guess their oil reserves could be an attraction, but the cost of an invasion in money and lives would far outweigh the value of the oil, and it would be very unlikely outside forces would be able to conquer Russia.
The threat would be biological weapons and internal dissent, leading to (ta-da!) REGIME CHANGE.
Remember that it has been revealed that the Ukrainian army was preparing for a massive attack against the Donbass, to wipe out the ethnic Russian population. This had been timed for something like February 28th. Russia invaded on February 24th.
Exactly. The cabal was using the Ukraine because they were on the border of Russia to try to destabilize Russia from within. They did the same tactics with the country of Georgia and funding the chechnya rebels.
