[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it. His people don't want what he's doing. His oligarchs can't possibly think  this is a good idea. Why is he doing this-is he just an aging man trying to recreate the glory days of the past before it's all too late for him?[/quote]

What's crazy about wanting more land and resources and doing it when you know no entity will do much to stop you?

This is like dealing with a child who has no rules or boundaries and no enforcement of them.

No consequences for Putin. Nothing but gain. Quite logical actually.

Sure it's unethical and immoral, but not "crazy."

He'll get what he wants annexed to Russia and mass media will tout Biden as a hero. Putin and CHina will be LTAO. [/quote]

Seems like there have been quite a few consequences.  He's got thousands of dead troops, billions of destroyed military equipment, his grand military has been shown to be a rag tag group of misfits, he's stuck in what is likely to be a multi-year insurgency that he will never be able to win, he's brought down economy crushing sanctions on Russia, he united NATO and will likely cause Finland and Sweden to join, and EU is likely to expand to include more in Eastern Europe.  All this is likely to create some internal threats to his power from pissed-off oligarchs and other high-level officials who liked it when they could go spend their loot in London and Paris.[/quote]
