  1. I think the real reason why Putin invaded was that his friend Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk was put under house arrest shortly before the war started. This really angered Putin and I think this one was the trigger that pushed Putin to start the war, and Putin was in isolation and taking lots of steroids to deal with covid 19 , so he went loopy. Also his generals kept telling him that Ukraine military was shit, fed him wrong info. however they knew the Ukrainian army was equipped with lots of Javelin and NLAW top attack ATGMs so they put cope cages on their tanks even before the war. that did not help much. Putin's generals fed him false info since they knew if they told the truth they would be sacked. Putin in his whack brain thought he knew everything and knew stuff better than his generals. and the generals played along. Even the FSB played along. So Putin who is actually risk adverse and a careful planner and opportunist thought he could win fast and easy versus Ukraine and that the Ukrainian people would welcome him and he could conquer the whole country in like 3 days or at worse 3 months with minimal casualties. Well he failed and he failed really badly. now nearly 3 years later and 700K casualties, tens of thousands of destroyed Russian tanks , IFVs, APCs, , Russian miltiary embarassed and looked at lot weaker than they were portraying pre war. struggling vs. Ukraine which Russia has 10X the economy and military firepower and 5X the population and only controls around 20 percent of the country and struggling to win taking massive casualtiies est. to be 1K casualties a day. and the Ukrainians have captured a large territory in Kursk Russia and 3 months later the Russians are still struggling to kick them out and have called the North Koreans to help send soldiers, artillery ammo and missles. and the Russian navy lost at least two dozen ships including the Black sea flagship moskva vs. Ukraine who doe snot have a navy , and the Russians are operating from the Caspian sea due to the Ukrainians managing to evict the Russians from the Black sea using drones, and the Ukrainains are also bombing Russian cities , oil refiniries and ammo depots with drones. Its that bad for Russia. This war has been a disaster for Russia. and even if the Russians manage to get a peace deal out of this where they walk away with the Putin regime intact, this war has really shaken the confidence of the Russian elites in Putin and really damaged the Russian economy and military. This will have severe repercussions post war as both Russia and Ukraine try to recover and rebuild getting ready for round 2.
