"...Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine that I am somewhere in 2007, and a screenwriter from Hollywood comes to me and says, “Look, here's an amazing book or script which says that Russia starts a war against Ukraine, Putin is sitting in his bunker for two years, the main military guy is an ex-criminal who was beating women and robbing them. He is recruiting tens of thousands of prisoners and they're being killed on the front line without anything, and Russia is becoming the most isolated country, somewhere between Iran and North Korea.” I would have told the screenwriter that he's crazy. But this is the reality..."

  How about this for a script: NATO finally drops the mask and after expanding west for 30 years despite their promises to Russia not to, they make a final push to integrate Ukraine, arm it against Russian, in preparation for a decapitating attack against the Kremlin that would finally allow the US to control the resources of Russia and prepare for an attack on their second target,China, to consolidate their 70 years hegemonic stride. However, the maniacs in Washington that had already divided the US population across racial and gender lines, did not account for Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. In a surprise twist of events, after ignoring its ultimatum to back off from Ukraine, Russia commences a massive military operation in Ukraine. Confronted with the unthinkable, desperate Western powers drop the mask and go all in: they censor Russian and domestic media that doesn’t toe the propaganda line. Unleash unprecedented economic sanctions against Russia, seize the assets of the Russian central bank, blow up Russian underwater pipelines, turn a blind eye to terror attacks on Russian cities, and engage in genocidal activities against the Russian population, unseen since those of Hitler’s Third Reicht. They ostracize Russian culture, artists, companies, and people, from western society, disregarding objections from the United Nations and the rest of the world. As the proxy war against Russia grows bigger, supported by the West’s massive injection of armaments into Ukraine, leaders of the West begin to realize the situation has grown bigger and taken a life of its own. They can no longer control the events. There’s no going back. With the Middle East fast reconciling old scars, China and Russia uniting, and the African continent awakening to the colonial condescension bestowed upon them up to that point, the West begins to realize they are the ones that have been isolated. With the world quickly uniting against the West and their master, the US government, the situation is ripen for a military attack on the US, breaking the historically sacred rule of “no foreign boots of US soil”. What began as the desperate attempt of a demented US president to shield his rotten son from his criminal activity in Ukraine, has now morphed into the final chapter of the US empire. Just like Hitler before them, the US hegemonic empire has bitten more than it can chew. Ends with scenes of US nuclear forces French-kissing at a Pride parade, dressed in leather and surrounded by kids, while Russian and Chinese submarines and navy approach the US costs at dawn, and their ICBMs burning red hot as they re-enter the atmosphere.

      It’s just a script. Hollywood does all sorts of crazy movies. Perhaps it’ll be made into one. Oh wait… that can’t happen. The Russian have been the bad guys since the 70’s /s

    Interesting argument...but as an experienced Hollywood scriptwriter, I feel your Putin character is a bit weak. You know, the one that decides to invade Ukraine against all common sense. And in such a way, that even with US warning of an Invasion eminent, even Ukrainians did not believe such a scenario and were not leaving the Country. Your villains have to be credible, and not completely dumb. Could be a nice argument we agree. When to start the movie shooting?...don't call us...we call you. ;-)

> "he’s trying to set his underlings against each other " In other words he's trying to set up Russian people against each other. He doesn't care if Russian People lose, as long as he wins, by staying in power.
