It totally made sense in hindsight, but I had no experience with US intelligence that was actually accurate so I couldn’t believe it
It seemed to make absolutely no sense in terms of Russia’s geopolitical interests. Zelensky and the Ukrainians said they weren’t expecting an invasion. The people hyping it up were all proven serial liars.
I don’t see how it couldn’t be expected if all the conditions were there. None of Putin’s concerns were addressed all these years so I don’t think he’d go “Eh don’t worry about the NATO or Donetsk thing, water under the bridge”.
absolutely no sense in terms of Russia’s geopolitical interests
Except the interest of making NATO look impotent by putting them in a position of being totally unwilling to make any sacrifice to actually act. It’s really hard to beat an enemy that is used to a much lower living standard / hardship level.
Yeah, but that seemed to be outweighed by the negatives of turning Ukraine into another Afghanistan right on their border.
