Look at how close NATO is to to Russias most important nuclear submarine base The US would never allow that.
Putin will get to grab 40% of Ukraine under the Biden administration. Finland and Sweden joining nato is just noise. Putin didnt have the balls to go in under trump. Trump told him he would bomb buildings in Moscow if he went into Ukraine. Probably a bluff by Trump but Putin didn't want to risk it. Trump was too unpredictable.
800 miles of NATO on Russias border right next to St Petersberg and Russias most important nuclear submarine base is just noise...
Except he didnt have the balls to do it under Trump, between 2016 and 2020. He waited for Senile Biden to get into office, then he went in.
Russia was in Syria in 2016 and covid started at the end of 2019. Putin knew damn well he couldn't fight in Syria and Ukraine at the same time.Even though Trump wouldn't have done anything about Putin invading Ukraine he had to worry that other European countries would help Ukraine and unlike Crimea he knew Ukraine would fight back if he tried to take Kiev. Putin had to wait until Syria and covid was stable before going into Ukraine.
