Failing empire needs a foreign villain to distract the public from the domestic looting that is turning us all into serfs. Plus, Russia is resource rich and the gazillionaires want the profits from those resources and they’ll risk a nuclear war to get them. They thought they had that country under their control until Putin showed up and kicked them out. Biden just blurted out the other day that regime change in Russia is what the war in Ukraine is about. This stuff is so obvious, you have to be willfully blind to miss it. A lot if willfully blind sheep in the West unfortunately.
