  Also Putin made several visits to Xi in the months prior, including just a few days prior to the invasion. They clearly wanted to be sure they’d have Chinese backing at the UN.

  Wouldn't it be funny if it was trump that was going to destroy america, and turns out it was putin that is gonna unify NATO and destroy russia instead... >
  
  Putin sought to put Donald Trump and Boris Johnson in power as part of his plan to annex Ukraine and to repopulate a dying Russia. His plan started out fine but fell part piece by piece. >
  
  Imo he really needed Trump in the white house for his plan to work. I suspect Covid delayed his invasion of Ukraine initially. So he basically had to wait until after the 2020 elections to invade.
  Russia probably wasn't able to invade until after Covid too. Which is how he got to February 2022. Then he had to delay again so as to not anger China during the Olympics. >
  
  It's pretty obvious the Chinese knew the invasion was going to take place ahead of time. They sat there buying as much grain as fucking possible for months and months, then banned the export of phosphate fertilizer all shortly before the invasion. Two parts of agriculture that were going to be severely impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
