  1. There is this game that Russia wants to show the 3rd world that it is strong and does not back down and put hard against hard in its struggle against the west. Maybe Russia is afraid to look weak and useless for the third world? But this is a vanity project a 3rd world country cannot afford. So a Potemkin phasade needs to be created, but this is not a substainable solution in the long run. So what Putin hope to achieve with this move is beyond me, it just seem idiotic like painting oneself into a corner, and then climb up on a branch on a tree and then put out the saw and start to cut down the same branch he is sitting on. This is just so foolish. A desperate mans wishful thinking. Perhaps is he betting everything on that his boyfriend will become president in USA again. But it seems more likely that Biden will win to me. And no this war have nothing to do with Nato agression. If that was true that Russia indeed felt threatened by an attack from the west, then why did that SU-57 fighter jet not sit protected inside a thick bomb shelter where it would be safe against drones and missile strikes? All other countries in eastern Europe got protected hangars everywhere, so why not russia? Its almost like they do not fear any Nato invasion at all. Vatniks also mock us Europeans that we are so unprepared for this war, with tiny armies, tiny military stockpiles and no artillery ammunition stored for a big war. So if they brag about how much stronger russian artillery is, then why do they feel threatened by their pathetically weak western foe? And if the west is so dangerous to russia that it starts proxy wars and threatens russia with an invasion at every moment, then why do the russian military pull out troops from Kaliningrad and send them to Ukraine? Isn't Kaliningrad super-important and needs to be protected at all costs as a top priority for the russian military in a war with Nato? Kaliningrad is enormously important, just as important as Moscow and St Petersburg. Kaliningrad have an important port, but that place is also an excellent starting point for a blitzkrieg against the Baltics, Its a place for missile attacks against the west (perhaps also with nukes). Its also for defensive reasons enormously important for russia if Nato went to war with russia. It would tie up large Nato forces that could threaten russia elsewhere, and it would protect russias missile shield and help russia control the Baltic sea. So why then would russia ever move all Kaliningrad troops to fight in Ukraine? That just seems enormously reckless and dangerous to me, if Russia truely is under threat from the west. And after the drone strike at Engels airbase did Russia move all its strategic bombers out of reach of Ukrainian drones. They were moved far north. To an airfield close to the border of Finland, just a few kilometers away and not more. And I think that would be an extremely reckless move if Russia sincerly feared a western invasion. Would USA ever put all their B-2, B-1 and B-52 bombers in one place just a few kilometres from the Warsaw pact border during the cold war? - I don't think so because that would be stupid and reckless. The entire nuclear capability of the US airforce could just have been destroyed in just one big air raid that could easily be done cross the border without much warning or time to react. No one would ever position their strategic bombers close to enemy territory unless they felt extremely safe and sure that they would never be attacked from the west. So for all those reasons do I think Putin never feared any western invasion
