https://nypost.com/2022/01/02/schiff-says-ukraine-invasion-likely-as-biden-prepares-for-zelensky-call/
Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday he believes it is very likely that Russia will invade Ukraine as President Biden prepared for another call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the tense standoff.
I fear that Putin is very likely to invade. I still, frankly, dont understand the full motivation for why, why now hes doing this. But he certainly appears intent on it unless we can persuade him otherwise, Schiff (D-Calif.) said on CBS News Face the Nation.
And I think nothing other than a level of sanctions that Russia has never seen will deter him, and thats exactly what we need to do with our allies, he added.
Biden said he warned President Vladimir Putin during their phone call on Thursday that he will be hit with severe sanctions if an attack is launched against Ukraine.
I made it clear to President Putin that we will have severe sanctions, we will increase our presence in Europe, with NATO allies, Biden told reporters last Friday.

So this was the long game Russia was playing by trying to fund right-wing parties all over Europe. They wanted to make Europe as disunited as possible so that they wouldn't gang up on them when they invaded Ukraine.

Russia wishes it was as rich and powerful as China and has a lot of the world convinced that it is, but it's not. Not even close.

Yep. Russia considers former soviet republics pretty much the same way that China considers Taiwan.

Also, Ukraine has a lot of natural resources and Moscow wants that wealth for itself. It triggers the fuck out of them that Ukrainians get to keep their own shit

They also inherited the permanent UNSC seat with the absolute veto. That's a pretty big thing to have since it totally prevents the UN from doing anything to Russia beyond sternly saying "bad, bad Russia. Naughty country." Whoever formed the UNSC thinking the Allied powers would always get along should have been shot in the head.

This is also geopolitical. Anyone could figure out that Putin's not just gonna sit around as NATO does its best to put bases closer and closer to Russian borders. Russia has a navy base in Crimea, and when Ukraine seemed to lean more and more towards EU/NATO, it's not strange that Putin wanted to secure that.

@VigorouslySwish
@Tyranthraxus

While Ukraine is former USSR territory, there are financial reasons they are trying to go after it instead of going after the other former USSR countries (they wouldn't be going after Ukraine if it were worthless):

Ukraine exports mainly steel, coal, fuel and petroleum products, chemicals, machinery and transport equipment and grains like barley, corn and wheat. More than 60% of the exports goes to other former Soviet Republics countries with Russia, Kazkhstan and Belarus being the most important. Others include Turkey and China.

Also someone was telling me Russia would gain several very important ports or something of that nature that they very much want by taking Ukraine.

CADE FOSTER posted...

@CADE_FOSTER

This is what a lot of people are afraid of.
A financial reason (and it's a HUGE financial reason) China wants Taiwan is because Taiwan is the # 1 producer of the more important computer chips on the planet. If China takes Taiwan, it's a huge financial gain for China but the chip shortage is going to get dangerously worse for the rest of the world.

Even worse scenario is if North Korea sees China take Taiwan and Russia take Ukraine, North Korea (which is in VERY serious need of financial gains) will go after South Korea. South Korea is the # 2 biggest producer of computer chips in the world (Samsung is one of the companies that produces very important chips there). If North Korea decides to do this, their army would easily destroy the South Korean army (honestly, North Korea has enough impressive weaponry in comparison to South Korea to the point where they arguably don't even have to send land troops to win). Taiwan and South Korea have a near monopoly on production of the most important computer chips in the world. If China and North Korea takes them, the entire rest of the world are screwed for many, many, MANY reasons.

Of course, all of this is just worst case scenario.
Most likely nothing will happen and no one will start any wars and everything will eventually go back to normal.

Very true, but the Ukraine has other ports that Russia would want.
Ukraine possesses the most powerful sea port potential among all countries of Black Sea. On its coast of Black Sea and Sea of Azov are located 18 seaports

Today, the largest Ukrainian seaports are in Pivdennyi, Odesa, Mykolaiv and Chornomorsk, which account for about 80% of the total throughput of Ukrainian seaports.
This strongly relates back to all the natural resources that Ukraine exports (which is a huge financial gain for Russia) along with other things that would greatly benefit Russia.

NK's invasion hasn't been truly viable since ages ago, and it's not like SK ever stopped their military service. Thinking that chain of events will happen is pretty out of touch and out the ass tbh. China also already deems as having taken Taiwan. They just think we're the ones in denial wtf. I can't even with that post
