Why does Russia fear Ukraine?
Washington Examiner:
Russian military ready 'right now' to attack Ukraine and divide NATO
What is missing from the discussion of Russian intent is a rational causus belli. Ukraine is no threat to Russia strategically or tactically. From my perspective, it looks like Putin wants to reconstitute the control over the former Soviet territory and thinks he can get away with it because Biden demonstrated weakness against a lesser foe in Afghanistan. It looks like the Europeans are responding with weakness too.
