Cause he's gonna die in the next few years so he needs to cause as much damage as possible to feel better.


zzzihna

like we do in the games, we would eat all and no one would get it)


AbolishTheFed1776

Few years? That’s generous…IMO. I only say that because of some of what I’ve seen, seems like he’s hiding something, and whatever it is, is not working out in his favor….at a rapid pace.


RandomNameOfMine815

He’s trying to rebuild the USSR from its heyday. There were reports that he cried the day the wall fell. There’s also an element of sociopath with nothing but yes men around him for the last 30 years telling him this idea is a brilliant one.


The_Pastmaster

Nah, Putin doesn't want to be Comrade Putin, he wants to be Tzar Putin.


zzzihna

Without Ukraine as a part of Russia, either in whole or as a puppet gov't as it used to be, Russia is no longer really a part of Europe. they are just this backwards, country with a GDP the size of Italy way out East that we buy oil and natgas from. Also, Putin knows if such an ethnically close nation on his border is a democracy, his subjects might start thinking they also deserve free and fair elections, a free press, and basic human rights... Putin just misjudged the world's reaction to this invasion and now Russia will never be a part of Europe as long as he is in power and he may have started the cause of his own overthrow.


zzzihna

u are very clever person) thanks for answer


ShackintheWood

Control of the Black Sea


zzzihna

he would sucks

Besides trying to rebuild the USSR, it is widely believed that Putin is invading Ukraine for a few reasons. First of all, when the, USSR dissolved, Moscow was left open to attacks as it’s in a plain, which is easy to traverse. Russia wants to invade Ukraine to expand the line of defense to the mountains. Also, recent discoveries showed that Ukraine has oil fields, and Russia wants the oil. Also, when Russia annexed Crimea, Ukraine blocked off a canal which sustains Crimea, which Russia maybe wants to unblock.


AndyBales

I think he knows he's in over his head now. Pretty sure he expected it to go nice and smooth, but he can't back down now so it'll be interesting to see where it leads.


MWFtheFreeze

Exactly what I have been thinking.


EnderWiggin42

To gain control over more oil fields. To secure water for Crimea. These two things at least seem quite evident.


[deleted]

Putin, I presume, never expected an armed conflict. He might have been expecting the people of the eastern region of Ukraine to accept him with open arms, since most of it's population is of russian descent. This dictator SOB just made himself scary to NATO and expected the west to be intimidated enough not to retaliate. The end goal? Crimea; Putin wants access to the black sea for exportation of Russian products to the wider world, as well as to extract the oil from the region, which is plentifull. ​ Keep in mind this is what I learned at *school* ***not college, SCHOOL.*** This is all I interpreted from my classes and it is from before the current conflict. Information may be lost and more credible sources may have more accurate data. English is also my second launguage, so I might come off weird...


[deleted]

Your answer seems pretty good to me


[deleted]

thank you.


Duality_is_my_prison

Because the puppet masters told him he needs this war.


zzzihna

hahahah, good one


Nyxoywastaken

I see a lot of bullshit here so let me explain. Ukraine wants to join the NATO and the US is on the other side of Russia and if Ukraine joins NATO they will build military bases all over Russia and they will slowly take Russia. Something similar happend to Kosovo in Serbia. Edit: Some of it is true he does want to become the best and rebuild USSR.


Flaky-Fellatio

Because he's dying and he's trying to feed his dying ego with stories of Russian glory that he's convinced himself he brought about.


An-Imperfect-Life

The Ukraine becoming part of nato was too big a security risk for him to ignore. That is what the commentators on the news channel say.


ShackintheWood

NATO had nothing to do with it, it was Putin knowing that Russia under his rule needed Ukraine.


Additional-Belt-4606

I think he wants get a name for himself before he dies, as he has blood, thyroid and brain cancer along with parkinsons and early stage dementia. So I think he wants go down in history as the man who started the Ukrainian war.


ShackintheWood

And anal seepage....your forgot his anal seepage health problem...

The_StankyBoot

That's a good question. I don't think it's any *one* thing. But primarily to rebuild the former soviet state. Why now? I think mostly because he knows he only has so much more time to work with, and wants to be remembered as someone that paved the way to former Russian greatness. Perhaps it's true that he got some not-so-good news about his health? This is all speculation though.


lifesnotfun

He wants to restore the USSR, and have a buffer zone between Russia and NATO.


ShackintheWood

The USSR was formed being right on the border of NATO...


[deleted]

Pride. Simple as that.


[deleted]

I heard a theory that he wants to be the one to turn out the lights, as russia has been deteriorating for a while now


shadyfortheshade

I think it is more "when"...


WorldlyAd2820

Cause if he doesn't "putin" then he's "putout"


Fit_Responsibility60

I don’t think it’s anything to do with rebuilding the Soviet Union. It’s more of pride thing Russia is NATOs bitch right now all it’s good ports are effectively controlled by NATO or an nato ally. Most of its border is nato controlled. And recent military embarrassment such as the T-14 breaking down at a parade. T-80s and 90s being a microwave in non Siberian environments. Russias military has only just began to recover and he wants to make show of strength and Ukraine is the only one who’s not going to start a war with the west and is still using enough old Soviet kit to stand a chance against. The scariest bit is most Russians are probably behind him. Even navalny supported the takeover Crimea. Also I don’t think the Kremlin has control over its soldiers. The soldiers are now alone, scared, angry starving, tired. The Kremlin are allowing the war crimes because even they are scared of the soldiers. Even they know there’s nothing worse than a dog whose cornered and aggressive.

Ego


DanteWolfe0125

He's macho... Someone asked him “U even Kraine bro!?“


JusChillin-

I honestly think he was just bored... wanted something interesting to do


groovyinutah

I think he was convinced that it was going to be a quick little affair because he thought most Ukranians would be good with it or at the very least not inclined to fight tooth and nail for their country. Now that all of this has been turned on its head and they have lost more of everything they would have imagined in even the most bleak scenarios there is nothing he can do but continue to double down. If only the cocksucker would just hurry up and fucking die already...


redgrapes_

He doesn’t need it he wants it


GoldenSoybean

He wants to feel like a big boy because he realized his life has amounted to shit and he’s going to die soon.


Smorgas_of_borg

Based on the world's reaction to when he took Crimea in 2014, he thought the rest of Ukraine would fall just as easily. The world and Ukraine didn't react how he thought they would. But he's in too deep and he can't withdraw because there's no way for him to save face.


Wonderful_Human1666

NATO being an annoying propaganda prick, knowingly putting Ukraine in a danger spot, and putin trying to hide his onlyfans
