Is he literally insane? Russia is now completely isolated, sanctioned and about to be cut off from the SWIFT. Even China is bailing out on him. What did he think was going to happen?

He realized that even the collapse of the USSR didn't stop tptb from turning russia into a boogeyman.
It was just a matter of time until Russia was cut off like this, at least this way he gets to disrupt our defense of eastern europe
asking myself the same. he has worked himself into a very tight corner. which is fucking dangerous considering he can't come back to his oligarchs and tell them they lost lots of money for nothing. he HAS to win.

Never underestimate the power of children. Especially children with guns.
That's why it's called an infantry.

You have fucked with the primordial forces of nature. Now they come looking for their fucking princip.
Nie podumal :(
>It was just a matter of time until Russia was cut off like this
That's actually one of the state propaganda talking points
>We weren't sanctioned because we invaded, we would have been sanctioned anyway so we invaded and its all 5g chess
I think he thought he would win the war in a day or two with a decapitation strike on Ukrainian leadership except now Russia is stuck in whats looking to be a far more protracted combat, using troops who's morale is shit, because apparently no-one thought to tell the conscripts they were actually invading Ukraine.
I guess this is what surrounding yourself with sycophants and yes-men does to you.
oh no, russia become poor!!!
FUCK SERBIA
I don't mean to be a fag but I don't understand why people think he's insane. He gave two long speeches with pretty precise historical justifications (in his mind) as to why this what necessary, even conceding that Russia has corruption issues just like he thinks Ukraine does, and gave several points like Moscow potentially being nuked within 5 minutes easily if Ukraine joined NATO.
He also constantly repeated that this was a last step, that he even asked Clinton if joining NATO was possible a while back, and that this is a necessary self-preservation tactic if they hope to defend against NATO going forward.
I haven't seen anyone on this board or the media talk about this. Did they just not watch his full speech? I'm a fucking retard when it comes to geopolitics but he gave a pretty sound and even laboured reason for doing what he's doing. Even if the results are fucked up - brushing him aside as insane is lazy
They won't remove Russia from SWIFT, there's a conflict of interests here.
Putin cashed out his bitcoin in December he’s got money
Putin acts like a wife who slaps you in the face in the middle of the night, because she had a dream that you cheated.
Nigga thinks he can scare nato with his army that can barely defeat ukraine.
He is probably surrounded with corrupted Yes men who claimed that the military is fully modern, well trained and not with fresh recruits with cold war equipment, that Ukraine will fall in 5 days and entire world will cheer
>democrats lose an election
>can't cope with being less popular than Trump
>decide to blame russia
>force through and enact sanctions
>new president gains support by attacking russia
No reason not to launch nukes at this point
I think we need to be honest here.
Russia’s low level troops are pretty pathetic. Honestly like nigger tier.
But they’ve made great gains. They’re in the Capitol. Difficult to imagine Ukraine will be able to muster pushing Russian forces back.
Ukraine will be tapped out in supplies soon in these cities in which Russia deploys their remaining 70% of reserves and swallows the country whole.
With that said, Ukrainian defense is impressive
Would be cool if we sent "medical supplies" to ukraine, just like the russians did back in 2014.
Putin is not insane. (People are calling him insane because he did something they did not expect.) He has a calculated endgame. We just don't know what it is.
it won't last, in two weeks people will have moved on to the next thing and all sanctions will be quietly lifted.
He is going all out, he will not stop at ukraine. Screencap this
He definately was significantly pushed towards it with the continual take over of ex Soviet states in Europe, Belarus being the latest attempt, still don't think this was neccasarily the right move as he would have had an even larger share of European energy dependence once the new pipeline is running.
I think he's fed up with seeing Russia lose status in the world, and as a diehard old KGB-bred spook, he is using the Wests decline (and milquetoast leadership) to make a move that, frankly, the U.S. hasn't had issues making in the past 20 years. Then you have American meddling in Ukraine during the Obama years, growing cozier to the West on his borders.... think of it like Mexico becoming a prostitute to China, Iran, Russia, NK, shitty African nations, etc., with repeated provocations. Of course this is general as fuck and I am no expert. I like listening to my mechanical keyboard type, an analog version of listening to myself speak desu.
