Truth Bomb by OVD : Russia vs Ukraine from my perspective

 Hey Everyone,

  So Russia invading Ukraine is half the news these days so I'm going to take a moment to explain things from my point of view. This whole thing comes from Putin's ego and his desire to make an empire similar to the USSR. This invasion has been going on for a decade. Chimera being an example and the eastern border with Ukraine and the "separatists" there being another. Putin has set this up to make his overall invasion more palatable to the west(in stages...like Hitler) but make no mistake he wants Ukraine. He will invade. 

  Now Putin planned on having his lapdog Trump in power over here which would have given him the green light for sure and probably got the US kicked out of NATO. But Trump lost and his COUP failed(so far) so now Putin has to face a united west. What this means is heavy sanctions and military aid to Ukraine. The US and UK have already started sending anti-tank and anti-air missiles...which are very effective. The bulk of Putin's Tanks, APC's and planes are easily taken out by these types of weapons.  

  Russia has a way bigger force and more of everything and should win a standard war. But...and there are some pretty big buts...the cost to his army and economy will be way to much. Putin's war will cost Russia's economy which is already bad and further weakened from Covid, dearly and crash their economy. Some think China will help but I doubt this as China may make alliances out of convenience with Russia but they are NOT friendly. I expect when the body bags and Putin wrecked military comes back to Russia he will lose power and end up dead. This is a huge gamble for Putin but like I said this is about his ego...not common sense. The Ukrainians are already planning a guerilla war and with western missiles they will devastate Russia's armor and airpower. Way worse than Afghanistan did in the 1980's with a hand full of stingers. It will be a blood bath and the west can test all it's new system via giving them to Ukrainians. 

  On top of all that this will inspire NATO to build up it's defenses and military capabilities...something Putin already fears. They are already bulking up eastern countries in the alliance. Of course the Russian and Ukrainian peoples will suffer greatly as war is horrible and it's in their backyard. But people like Putin don't care. 

  So yes I think Putin will invade. he's been setting this up for a decade and the cost of that is great money wise to. He's already to invested in this war. At first the Russians will charge in making big gains but then the guerilla actions will start hitting and they will get bogged down. The west will crush Russia economically and China won't bail them out. Then Russia will have another "revolution" and that will be the end of Putin. 

  Putin's only good choices are to cut and run or wait for the Nazi party under Trump to try and take America  and then attack but that's 3 years from now. An expensive wait. He won't wait and he won't run so expect war soon.
