Russian forces invade Ukraine after Putin orders attack
What is the endgame here?<p>Russia is outclassed by NATO both economically and militarily.<p>If NATO intervenes economically, Russia will lose much.<p>If NATO intervenes militarily, Russia will lose much (but at great cost to NATO).<p>The risk of NATO intervention is high, right? Russia understood this before invading, right? So it seems Russia is accepting a high risk of loss.<p>But it doesn&#x27;t make sense that a nation as sophisticated as Russia would accept such a high risk of loss. Which means that they might actually believe the risk of NATO intervention is low.<p>How could the risk be low without some kind of collusion or hidden knowledge (hidden from us common folk)? Are &quot;they&quot; (&quot;the global elite&quot;, &quot;the military industrial complex&quot;) all &quot;in it&quot; (profiting) together? Is Russia just suicidal? If (when?) Russia loses out, how do they react?
