    I think Putin’s push is a direct result of US and UK just straight up ignoring the cooperation of the UN Security Council in 2001.

    Against the entire world wishes, votes and resolutions passed in the UN…

    The US and UK straight up ignored it all and invaded a sovereign nation.

    Once that precedent was established, and it was obvious the decorum of the UN Security Council wasn’t going to be respected, Russia and China changed gears…

    When they realized that any buffoon (Bush) could one day just be put in charge of the US and decide to invade another country and nothing would stop them, they started preparing long term.

        The gears were set in motion much sooner. The plan to destabilize the US from within using hybrid means seemes to have been there since Khrushchev and it got a lot of traction by the end of the 90s with publication of The Foundations of Geopolitics.
