The nit-wit VP Kamala may have lit the fuse with her irresponsible comment about admiring Zelensky's ambition to join NATO.

I envisioned he would invade and altered my stock portfolio in response to that belief. I envision it would happen near the end of the Olympics, right on schedule they attacked. . I think Putin wants all of Ukraine. He may be forced to settle for far less, but he wants the government toppled and replaced with his own cronies. When you run a fear based Kleptocracy, new opportunities are always a temptation. Owning the ports in Crimea with such little bloodshed and world condemnation, demonstrated to Putin it was worth the risk. No doubt he rakes in millions a year from the conquest. Russia and its economy are similar to a world gas station. When you own and operate a gas station, Ukraine is a perfect long term fit - his portfolio is energy. The more of the world he can get addicted to it, the stronger he gets. He wants to be ruler of planet Arakus and Spice Milage in Dune.
