Why did Russia invade Ukraine?[/quote]

Because Putin wanted to.

There's some complicated stuff about rebuilding the past and destroying democracy, etc.  But basically, Putin wanted to.  So he did.  [/quote]

Putin also saw the weakness of the Euro west.  The weakness of the Biden administration.  Putin saw the opportunity and seized it.[/quote]

Except it turns out he was wrong.  The EU, Biden Administration and Ukraine weren't and aren't weak.  So that just makes him stupid.[/quote]

Come on man. The escalation only came after Putin went beyond the two regions that are pro-Russian. If he would have just stopped there, the western world would not have done much else. It took an immense amount of international pressure for these leaders to come around to increasing the sanctions to include meaningful ones like SWIFT. Not just Putin, but most leaders thought that Ukraine would lose quickly and decisively against a Russian invasion. Thanks for the bravery and valor of Ukrainians, this did not happen. In this context, the EU took their sweet ass time deciding whether it was worth it to go against Russia and pay higher energy prices, and only came around to it after it became apparent that Ukraine was putting up a good fight and it became difficult to look themselves in the mirror.

Pathetic. [/quote]
