The facts are: Putin didn’t act in this manner during the Trump Administration BUT he did act in this manner during the Obumbler and Brandon Administrations. You choose not to see or admit that this does constitute evidence.The fact that Putin launched his criminal war when Biden is President is evidence of the fact that Putin launched his criminal war when Biden is President and nothing more.
It is classic daveman -ish propagandists use of a fact to support a false conclusion and actual miscalculation on Putin’s part that his plot to overthrow the government in Kiev by massive military force would be unwise when his puppet was in the White House. And then Putin held the contrary view that his criminal plot would easily succeed if he were to wait until his puppet was out and Joe Biden were to set up his anti-Putin government in charge of the powerful US military industrial and intelligence complex put together in large part to contain Putin expansion in Europe. Putin had to know that Biden ran his campaign on strengthening NATO, supporting UKRAINE and mending US Ties with the EU. Putin also had to know that during Biden’s first year US economic growth was highest in the world as the world was dealing with a new strain of Covid.
And because Biden leadership brought much of the world to impose harsh sanctions and limit trade the following happened. Putin fell behind 11 countries economically from before the invasion began. falling to a place between Taiwan and Poland. And Trump called this the work of a savvy genius. BIDEN calls him a war criminal
Russia’s market-rate GDP in 2021 was US$1.65 trillion, enough to make it the world’s 11th largest economy, behind South Korea. If we crudely convert Russia’s 2021 estimated GDP by March 7, 2022, currency rates, rather than the average exchange rate used last year, and place it against the 2021 market-rate GDP table, the rankings change and Russia slides to 22nd place, falling between Taiwan and Poland.
The Russian economy is headed for collapse
With Russia’s “great power status” tied closely to economic power, the country’s crumbling economy is putting Putin’s claims to legitimacy at risk.theconversation.com
This drop is likely an underestimate. While a falling ruble lowers Russia’s exchange rate of its GDP to U.S. dollars, its weakening economy lowers its ruble GDP directly. And Russia’s isolation will erode its economic competitiveness, widening the economic gap further in the medium term.Ukrainians confronted with the oncoming Russian army were wise to Putin’s chimeric strategy. “Don’t you have problems in your country to solve? Are you all rich there, as in the Emirates?” one elderly man heckled Russian soldiers.
Putin really fucked up big time if he figured his war plan would go smoother against Biden rather than with Trump.
I don’t know that Putin “fucked up,” as you contend, in concluding that it was likely that he’d do better against Brandon than against Trump. But it is quite clear that his calculation was that the Brandon term was the better time to move.
