[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putin seems kinda desperate. Why the rush? [/quote]

Well, this will draw the trolls, but it's this:

Trump hated NATO. Trump was willing to abandon Ukraine if they would not dig up dirt on his political opponent (the subject of his first impeachment). And while I don't necessarily think Trump was all in with Russia, lots of Trump surrogates/water carriers are - Bannon, Tucker Carlson, etc.

Now, despite the fact that the US President is an old, old man, he's 100 million percent in on NATO. The UK is kind of hating Brexit and is about to oust their PM because holiday parties. The Belarus population rose up and challenged a rigged election earlier this year. The uprising was brutally suppressed, in the end with help from Russian forces. Putin arrested his major political opponent by diverting a flight and forcing it to land in friendly territory. Dude is not winning.

Putin KNOWS, knows in his bones that this is a losing fight over the long term. He's trying to stall that.

I think he does take some territory, suffers some casualties, and goes home. He has propaganda running 24/7. Best case scenario for the West is that he is too ambitious and takes A LOT of casualties and has to go lick his wounds.[/quote]
