People read too much into Putin. He's a gangster, a KGB thug. He's said for decades the greatest tragedy of the 20th century was the collapse of the USSR. He's a strongman, trying to rebuild an empire. He's not a globalist. He might try to use the globalists, but he'd never really join them, he's undeniably russian first.
Russia is relatively poor, they're not militarily capable of much more than what they're showing us right now in Ukraine, they don't have the $$$. Recall that sub that sank a few years ago? Look at the pictures, it looked like it sank because it was rusted through. Russia is poor, when compared to Europe, China, the US, Putin can't compete with us militarily, he doesn't have the money. But Ukraine is very rich in resources, and it's a huge territory. Whether through all out conquest or a puppet gov't, he's just won himself a big chunk of those resources.
I doubt seriously any of this has anything to do with the Bidens or other politicians dirty laundry. That's the sort of info you get clandestinely, not through an invasion. I would add....I believe Putin's desire or need for wealth will eventually cause him to look south, to the middle east. If he starts there, buckle up, the rides going to get a lot more biblical.
