Sounds like bait and switch. I am trying to determine if they had something similar to QAnon to pacify the real opposition. I think they are trying the same thing in Belarus now. I've been following the Ukraine situation since 2014, mainly through Stephen F. Cohen. I think it was an attempt to manufacture a proxy war against Russia. I am not a Putin fan by any means, but the ensuing ethnic cleansing against ethnic Russians in the Donbass regions seemed like a ploy to manufacture sanctions. I think the ultimate goal is to restore the (((oligarch billionaires))) to their control of Russian resources.

Not that I'm aware of. Although in 2014 I was 15 and living in a tiny farming village in the East and didn't even think about politics until the separatists (most of whom are communists) started shelling our village and killing our people.
