What’s strange to me is that Putin is behaving a lot like Saddam did when he invaded Kuwait. So he either must really fear regime change of some sort will happen soon, or thinks the West is OK with this.
- thow-58d4e8b 5y agoThe ferocity, speed and coordination of the invasion suggest it's not just Putin - this is exactly how a unanimous agreement of all political and military elites look like. Judging from history - we won't hear about the true reasoning behind the invasion and the events preceding it for another 30 years at least
- krisoft 5y agoSo how many nukes did this Saddam guy have? Do you think that can change the calculation?
- _moof 5y agoReal nukes or imaginary ones used as a pretext for invasion?
