Suppose you entertain the idea that Ukraine was a hotbed of corruption and money laundering for many, not just top Ukrainian officials, then you might see why everyone was very upset about Trump's phone call with Zelensky (the 'very fine phone call'), where Trump asked him to look into Joe and Hunter's dealings Burisma dealings, and most notably the firing of a Ukrainian official looking into that very thing. Joe's famous quid-pro-quo moment.
Not only that but since the start of the Russian invasion, capital has been fleeing Europe. This is a very bad thing for a continent that doesn't produce anything and imports almost everything it needs to survive. For instance, It was a big deal when France was kicked out of Niger, where they happen to get most of the Uranium they use for their nuclear power.
Europe would benefit the most from WWIII because it would be the US fighting it, and since the US would be on a full-blown war footing, a lot of the capital that fled Europe would return to Europe seeing it being less of a risk.
It was more like the flagpole of the Kremlin
And that should tell you something. They have been trying everything to make Putin misstep in retaliation so that NATO finally has the lawful excuse it needs to go in. Think about that. All this BS the international community has raised over the situation, but the best it can do is send arms to Ukraine. Because they know they can't do anything. They talk a big game about Ukraine joining NATO, but no country can join NATO during things like ongoing border disputes.
There was always going to be a confrontation between NATO and Russia, Russia just decided to move the timetable up. It invaded Ukraine to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO, and NATO can't do anything about it. Thus, all these things we've seen to make Putin overreact. They want him to launch a nuke, innocents be damned because they want/need this war.
Why be skeptical of it?
