You have to understand Putin and who he is he has over a hundred billion dollars he wants to be treated like star like a celebrity and that's what he thought he was going to do March into a city into a town into a country take it over and that's what he was going to get in his country at a boy putting you are badass
That's what he thought he was going to get out of it but now reality has kicked in and he understands that the Russian people do not want to be in any War didn't want to kill innocent people and they don't want their president giving this to anybody so now the next election coming up he could be pushed out and that's what should happen just for killing innocent people this is all ego this is all little man syndrome there's no need for none of this but he thought he was going to be a big shot become that good old badass boy and he's a loser so now he's having his army destroyed anything and everything with any kind of excuse did he can come up with that is nothing but a lie to try to save his ass it has nothing to do with taking over a country anymore he's trying to save his ass
They support him because they've been brainwashed for two decades. That and Russian culture is one that permits lying all the time - they have several worlds for lie and truth, which says a lot about their acceptance of white lies and blatant bullshit.
Also, Putin was sure that the Ukrainian government would flee right away, that their army would not put up much of a resistance barring a few ultra-nationalist stragglers abd that the locals would accept them with open arms. He made his plans according to that kind of information.
He was basically wrong on practically every single thing.
I am sure he thought he would walk in and they would simply lay down & let him take over.

Hard to say, if dont start war Zelensky would listen to Putin? Ukraine hate USSR since Chernobyl sought western's freedom but become Nazi dont allow russian speaker and raise Azov Bttation. Is not in cold war mentality? Russian is democracy though but still take it as USSR. I dont blame them because deomcracy is not good even westerners can not solve some problems but Zelensky became what he hated before war and I doubt him dont know the angle view too as USA. Maybe that is the road of power that necessary pass by.
It's called "dictator syndrome". A lone dictator with delusions of grandeur surrounded by yes-men and out of touch with reality. His rambling speech in the sport stadium showed it all when the speaker announced him with the line "Lenin, Stalin... Putin." He will get a rough awakening.
He was probably thinking two things
1. If invasion was super successful, he could overthrow this Pro-EU/Pro-NATO Ukrainian government, making Ukraine a Russian puppet state, expanding Russias influence.
2. If less successful, Russia could still annex Eastern Ukraine from Donbas to Crimea, to create a buffer zone from Russian naval bases.
Ultimately its about preventing NATO and/or the European Union expanding further east, while simultaneously allow Russia to expand its influence.
Well all the war tyrants just end up getting knighted. See Bush and Blair. That's the game. These people are never held to account. And most of their brainwashed population, or at least a sufficiently high amount, support them. So sorry, there will be no justice seen. Except possibly in the next life.
He is 99 times smarter than Biden. He has really won. Sanctions will have no effect on him or economy because China and India will make up the difference. He has stolen India from US and that is as big as Israel and Iran kissing and having babies together. He can out last Ukraine and Ukraine will need billions and billions to rebuild and Russia only has to replace tanks and missiles.
Thugs 100 to Biden 0
Many talking heads say that Putin wants to restore the Russian Empire.
The post cold war West surrounded much of Russia with new NATO members, which he saw as a threat to Russian sovereignty.
Putin thought he would occupy Ukraine over the weekend. He wants to rebuild the Soviet Union and he wants the biggest city in Ukraine to be renamed Putingrad.
Get your head on straight. The USA started this shit by trying to steal Ukraine from under Russia.
He was thinking something like "No NATO country on my border".
he lost the entire continent of Europe as a oil client.
ITS A FAKE WAR
