A sad backwards gas station's economic interest was threatened. I understand that taking in economic, geopolitical and societal reasons into account is much more effort, but think outside of the Simple World of Conspiracy box.

Ukraine:

  1. One of the top grain supplier.
  2. One of the top xeon gas exporter. It is used in chip fabs.
  3. Was about to be one of the main natural gas suppliers. In 2012 large gas fields were discovered. Terrain with gas pockets overlaps all axis of initial attack.
  4. 2014 Ukraine overthrows soviets. Suddenly actual strides towards democracy.
  5. Wanted to join EU and NATO

russia was:.

  1. Top gas supplier to EU.
  2. Top coal supplier to EU.
  3. Crumbling economically already.

Now. Imagine what is the biggest threat to an authoritarian state

  1. that is already slowly collapsing
  2. Has decades long history of corruption, nomenclature - as in no free market

A country that is about to have better prospects of living and roaring GDP, and you dont have to learn another language to migrate! Ukraine. Nextdoors

And what is an Imperialistic Nazi cunt idea other than to start a war? It worked for centuries!

Ukraine, in 2014 was where Poland was in 1990.

Poland had THE SAME problems Ukraine has now. Because of russia, mind you.

Poland had a society that wanted change. Poland joined NATO. Joined EU. And 30 years later has a booming GDP and fastest transformation in Europe.

In 30 years from now, fossil fuels are to be NOT used. The main reason russia has ANY sway and and ANY GDP - gas and oil.
