Average people like us don't know for certain what's actually going on yet. We all get our news from the sources we trust and process it and believe it how we think is best. But I've seen some sources I normally follow on world events saying that there is more to the story than what 95% of the average people really know. They are saying that Putin isn't invading the government or country of Ukraine itself, but rather, going after specific targets of interest within the country. Key term "DS".
Agree on that, we all have limited manipulated details about this situation.
I dont wanna sound a cospirationist (altought they got most things right recently) yet I find the timing of this invasion very suspicious.
After 8 years of nothing despite provocations from both sides, Putin decides to invade Ukraine exactly when the covid narrative was getting rejected from the people and inflation reached a point that demanded radical countermeasures to be dealt with.
Now all this extreme measures from the west on russian population seem like done on purpose to radicalize russian citizens against the west and to support their own government which would have not happen in case of lighter sanctions possibly directed only toward wealthy individuals.
There are simply too many things that dont come right here.
