That’s the beauty of it… the Ukraine war was entirely engineered over a decade by NATO. The coup, the false peace treaty, the troop build up, the shelling and killing of enthic Russians, and pushing into the border… Russia was baited into it as an excuse to try to crush them economically, however that only emboldened them.
They didn’t expect to have to actually fight out of the paper bag, but thought “we got this” and used Boris to throw water on the ceasefire agreement. Now Russia is rolling over their toy.
Myrkul, Obama, etc are quite butthurt their decade long plan failed.
