US imperialism’s plan to weaken Russia through the Ukraine war and sanctions backfired. Today, Russia’s economy and arms industry has massively strengthened to the point where it is significantly outproducing the combined forces of Europe.
That reasoning is simple. Putin lost his sock puppet in Ukraine in 2013 with the large protests. He blames the West and especially the USA for this by putting ideas of freedom in people’s head. Now, instead of having a sock puppet state he had to do things the hard way and invade. In Russian that translates to “They started the war”.
