There's some weird shite going on. It seems like theater
It’s either something complicated like a propaganda OP or something as simple as this:
Putin is not some kind of glorious white hat fighting the global cabal for altruistic reasons. Nor is he a pawn in some globalist scheme.
He’s a power hungry leader and an opportunistic old school thinker.
Europe hasn’t been this week in a century and America is finally pathetic and stretched thin enough that he can invade and there’s nothing we can do about it so he pouncing on the opportunity and China is watching with great interest.
The Ukraine has a massive role in rare and precious Mineral trade as well as a playground for globalist money changers. If Putin can get his hands on all of that he can strengthen himself and position himself better on the world stage.
Whether or not he’s working in unison with China is yet to be seen. But I seriously doubt it.
America has been the large force lurking in the dark keeping the power hungry lunatics of the world at bay since WWII and we get less powerful each year.
Europe has been in and out of territorial conflicts pretty much constantly for centuries. We’ve been spoiled with relative peace since the 50s in that area. And we’re so used to it war seems foreign and weird when it fact it’s normal over there.
Our run into the Middle East in 2001 and our handling of conflict since then has showed us each time as less and less capable and more and more stretched thin.
And with the economy faultering and European powers floundering coupled with our apathetic and corrupt government these power hungry men see an opportunity.
It’s as simple as that if you want boil it down.

If he is, it will end like the Russian-German alliance during WW2.
Russia and China may one day create a legitimate hegemony in that region, but it won't be with Putin/Xi in power. They can only coexist for bursts but will eventually tire of the other's attempt to control the situation.

Good post. Germany, the second largest economy in Europe, has a military in disarray. Their top military official said yesterday that their military is “standing bare” and “limited in combat” readiness. All of the EU has rushed the clean energy transition and is even more dependent on Russian oil and gas than ever before. Security doesn’t always come in the form military. Energy is security as well and some nations in the EU have let both slip, opening the door for Putin to make his move in the Ukraine.

LOL
It's not close to what he's gonna lose in the long run with sanctions and multi nationals pulling the plug on Moscow right and left.
The ONLY piece of leverage he has against the West is his energy ties to western Europe (specifically Germany)and I don't think their opposition to kicking Moscow out of SWIFT can hold out much longer...not with the images of the invasion we're seeing on a daily basis.
