The truth is that some of the world’s best minds knew this would cause problems back in the 90s, but that’s all been memory holed to support this bogus money laundering war
World's Best Minds = someone who confirms Custard's existing beliefs.
This war has very little to do with NATO. Putin wants Ukraine, plain and simple. He doesn't see Ukraine as a legitimate independent country, culture or society, but as a historical part of Russia that was wrongly separated from them when the Soviet Union disintegrated.
This is a revanchist war to help reconstitute historical Greater Russia, to include Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, the Baltic Republics and Poland. Finland is probably a bridge to far, even for a Peter the Great wannabe like Putin.
