"Nothing was done to prepare the Ukrainians for the kind of negative reaction they would receive.
All things considered, Mr. Administration says Ukraine is "one of the problems in Vladimir Putin's psychological universe, and you don’t meander into it with no reasonable thought about what you will do immediately.
Since 2007, when the Russian ruler gave a speech at the Munich Meeting on Security Strategy, the West has known this fact.
Mr. Administration described it as "a rant against Ukraine's NATO membership."
He wanted to leave the Russian government (to be head of the state for a very long time), and "so it would have been his last lion's song in the wilderness. He made it clear that the "Ukraine-NATO" question was not up for debate when he returned to office in 2012.
Furthermore, he wrote an article in July 2021 that predicted the attack. It was summarized by Mr. Administration as "pretty much that Ukrainians and Russians [are] one individual.
Putin said it before, but not as furiously or punchy-and-inwardly. Putin finds it irritating that Ukraine would seek to join the West - and not just because he needs it as his satellite state.
He also said that he couldn't bear to allow life to be lived in a neighboring Slav state with even a small amount of popularity-based advancement.
His Russian citizens could have dangerous thoughts.
The attack on February 24th has caused the U.S. to re-evaluate its actions, Mr. Administration said." But I don't think the American sensation has wrapped itself in magnificence in 2021.
The second mistake was made by Mr. Putin's opponents.
Mr. Administration states that Putin despises the West and Western debauchery. He had accepted that the West was a ruin, socially and strategically.
He also imagined that the West's heads were "of low quality and unpracticed in correlation to himself.
Furthermore, he's been in power for 20 years.
Putin's confident retribution would have meant that the attack was "a sucker as Ukraine, but concerning the West. After four years of "total domination by Donald Trump", he believed the West was now rudderless following the withdrawal of Angela Merkel, the German chancellor. This set the stage for his shock when he attacked Ukraine. He realized that he had unintentionally joined West Europe and that what he did was the extraordinary inverse of what it was he needed.
The Administration refers to Mr. Putin as "careless" and "fair", and laughs at the notion that he's "some sort of virtuoso.
He asks what kind of Russian pioneer "makes it impossible for a German leader not to develop German weapons?"
Putin believed that there would not be any conflict, given the fact the massing troops on the line would lead to the collapse of the Ukrainian government.
He misjudged Volodymyr Zelensky, whom Putin had met in Paris six months after the Ukrainian president started to work. Putin had already "done his usual severe conversation execution with him. These discussions left Zelensky shaken. According to Mr. Administration, the only way to get Mr. Putin is through his firm conviction that Russia is an "incredible worldwide power" and that Russia's effective reach should extend to like many Soviet republics that were once Soviet:
"There is no word that
is more critical of it than Ukraine.
According to the antiquarian, the Russian ruler is "not socialist, but anti-communist. According to Mr. Administration, Putin views the Soviet timeframe as a "break" from the path to the significance that Russia should have taken. "Putin places stock in Everlasting Russia" but he treats Lenin with "disparagement" for preventing Russia's development.
M. Putin may say "periodically charming words about Stalin", but he has not said anything certain regarding Lenin. According to Mr. Putin, Lenin committed an early stage sin in 1922, when the Soviet Constitution established an organization of republics within the Soviet Association.
Mr. Administration states that this made it possible to separate the U.S.S.R. into distinct autonomous states in 1991.
Similar to Stalin, Putin would love for these many republics to be unified into a more notable Russia, which could have been governed from Moscow.
Mr. Administration states that Putin detests majority-rule governments. "He believes that the administration can force the state's power on society.
This is, according to the Russian president, a great thing for residents because it brings stability and reliability into their lives. The administration also believes in the subordination of the government to the mystery police. This is what Mr. Administration says. He claims that many of his techniques suggest the Soviet timeframe, regardless of whether his philosophy is. "Mr. Putin considers himself messianic,” he said.
Administration-as a pioneer to bring Russia to its predetermination. His administration is run like a court. However, the despots were much more considerate to their priests.
He doesn't let go of people who don't agree with his vision, except if they become political resisters. He treats them as students, "baths them down, and overwhelms them.
To keep them awake and alert, he "peppers" them with questions. He was a KGB senior official, and the KGB remains in his spirit. The FSB was renamed, and "it's one office from the Soviet Association that has made it through.
The Russian intrusion continues into the next week.
My Administration is cynical and sure that we are entering a delayed conflict that will result in the oppression of Ukraine.
