Putin is going to do what he can to clear a path to his goals, this oil business goes back beyond Trump and Biden. Why is the country of Ukraine such a big deal anyway? We all know that the Democrats tried to impeach Trump with his dealings, Hunter Biden made a fortune with his so called business deals and now Putin wants his share.

Putin wants power and to reinstate a similar Soviet Bloc. Oil is not his primary objective contrary to what is being dreamed up on here.

He's been Russia's power drunk autocratic president for the past 22 years and has no need to listen to anything his advisors might have to say regarding Ukraine.

Putin should tread carefully. He usually doesn't overstep but every indication is that he may just do that this time.

In 1994 under the multi national Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty Ukraine gave up it's sizeable nuclear arsenal in exchange for security agreements with both East and West to enable it to function as a independent nonaligned democratic nation. Well, NATO kept on plowing eastward and Putin used his pro Russian insurgents in Ukraine. And when the Ukrainian people chased his pro Russian backed president back to Moscow because the guy was raiding the nation's treasury that really honked off Putin.

Reports out today say that Russian banks went out an acquired 5 billion in additional foreign currency deposits just in December alone. I'm sure you can see the counter measures to sanctions that would be sure to come. "Hey West your sanctions have us locked up here but there's x billions in foreign currency in our vaults and on our ledgers and you know this country is run by an autocratic regime and we can't guarantee the security of those deposits.
You see guys it's never that simple. Barry Goldwater's solution to Vietnam was to nuke the Ho Chi Minh trail. "Great idea Barry . Just a couple of small logistical matters to clear up. The Ho Chi Minh trail is in SOUTH Vietnam. And BTW which Ho Chi Minh trail do you want us to bomb there's hundreds of them".
