Did putin start this war because he was tipped off?

[duforsure]

By a mole in our government that they had evidence against him and TFG's criminal activities, and it was going to be exposing them, and by starting this war he could claim it fake news and because of his war? It would explain his desperation, and actions for redirecting attention tactic he and the puppet has used. Does he know its close to being over for him? It wouldn't surprise me if it was part of what's behind his actions, and for greed and revenge.

1. Mob Boss Putin Could Care Less About His Corruption Buying TFG

Sorry.

Everyone knows he owns TFG.

[Skittles]

2. *couldn't care less

and that is correct, they are both proud of their corruption

[PJMcK]

8. That's one of my bugaboos, too

Another is mixing up scan and skim. Scan means to look at something in great detail while skim means to look at it superficially. Scan is frequently misused and it makes me crazy because it reverses the point the speaker is trying to make.

Likewise with infer and imply. And don’t get me started on gazpacho police!

[Skittles]

20. don't even get me started on the stuff I mix up

took me forever to get assent and ascent right!

[Patterson]

21. "Peruse" is like this. It means to study carefully, not skim.

[zuul]

17. I think he wants to brag openly about

installing the orange idiot in the White House. For decades, Putin’s accomplishment will be studied as the ultimate act of cyber war.

3. No, this follows a pattern of Russia invading neighboring countries.

They were successful at taking Crimes. Putin invaded Georgia as well. He can't stand a democracy being on his border.
However, all the efforts Putin has laid through undermining democracy through social media, lobbying, and bribery of rw European and American politicians have gone up in smoke.

4. Been thinking the same thing for days! - Was something huge uncovered...

Is it possible that some shocking, say financial revelations of a money trail have have been found since the J-6 Commission began and in questioning what 500 witnesses now?

If there was a finance trail from Russia and it is connected to the attack on our Capitol and revealed, Putin knows that at a minimum, more sanctions would be coming so this would be the perfect time for Putin to make his chess move and what would America do with a weak Joe Biden, and weakened NATO and Ukraine.

Is it a wonder that Trump suddenly, and within days, learns when it might be appropriate to describe what's happening in Ukraine with the holocaust word? Within the past two years didn't Pompeo say "Do you think that Americans care about Ukraine" responding to an NPR reporter.

[Dorian Gray]

5. Why would Putin

care if we caught on? He's not beholden to our laws. If anything, it would destabilize and cause chaos in the US.

(IMHO) He's shown aggression toward other countries in the past. This is just who he is. Has nothing to do with being found out that he interfered in our election.

[duforsure]

7. Laundering money he's stolen from the Russian people.

[LisaL]

10. And?

Why would he be concerned over it? US can't charge him.

[left-of-center2012]

6. Sure

Why not

[maxrandb]

9. When the truth of this era comes out

half of the Retrumplican Party will be in federal prison.

Please never forget.

Russian FSB agents hacked and stole documents from both the RNC and DNC, but only leaked the DNC stuff.

That is NOT an accident.

That needs to be highlighted EVERYTIME any Democrat, from President to local dogcatcher, speaks to the press.

[Strelnikov_]

14. "Russian FSB agents hacked and stole documents . . . but only leaked the DNC stuff"

Yep. They kept the good stuff and used it as kompromat.

[JustAnotherGen]

11. Those 15 boxes

Taken back from Mar A Lack . . .

[milestogo]

12. No, he was mad that the figure skater he drugged was found out.

13. My intuition suggests Putin didn't give a flying Eff if he was exposed

and didn't Putler as much as straight up admit he DID want Trump to win, and helped get him "elected"?

I feel like I remember this occurred in the last year or two of tft''s time in the WH.

Reporters straight up asking him, and he responded in Russian in the affirmative.

pretty sure I saw a news clip of this a couple of years ago.

[Renew Deal]

15. No. He doesn't care about US accusations.

No one can really touch him.

[dixiechiken1]

16. Nahhh...

Putin would care about that as much as TFG cares about that. None of these guys care about corruption, or about getting caught for their corruption. Nothing happens to rich, old, white guys in power who lie, cheat and steal. And pretty much everyone knows it. Especially the rich, old, white guys in power.

[stopdiggin]

18. doesn't give a solitary hoot

about any sort of 'investigations' in the U.S. And let's also remember that he has (and has had) a very firm hand on media controls in Russia. Any sort of scandal coming from the west would simply be pedaled as 'witchhunt.' Sound familiar? It's just a non-starter.

19. He does seem to have changed his behavior rather dramatically.

What were the consequences that he foresaw to take such a drastic action as invading Ukraine, if he was aware of his conspiracy being discovered?
