This Shows That These People Are Not Capable of Calculating Even the Most Basic Things. I'm Not a Military Analyst, but Even I Could Predict That Russia Had No Chance of Taking Kyiv and Achieving a Large-scale Victory. You Had to Be Totally Incompetent or Totally Disconnected From Reality to Think Anything Else. However, Government Propaganda Said Exactly the Opposite. Well, Now It's Pretty Clear Who Was Right. In That Sense, Putin's Mental Health and the Way Decisions Are Made in the Kremlin Played a Role. What Then Would Be the True Causes of the War? I Think There Were Two Main Causes. The First is Basically Global and Long-term.
The Great Recession of - Changed the World Position Within It. The Great Recession Revealed the Tremendous Weakness of the Russian Economy. However, at the Same Time, Russian Oligarchs Benefited From It. When the Recession UK Mobile Database Hit, the Russian Economy Declined at a Much Faster Rate Than Any Other Major Economy in the World. Then He Recovered Faster Too. Because? Because the Russian Economy Depended on Raw Materials, and in Particular Oil. To Deal With the Great Recession, the Us Federal Reserve Began Printing Money, Much of Which Ended Up in Financial Markets and, Ultimately, in Speculative Investments.
Oil is an Ideal Commodity for Speculative Investment as It is Deeply Connected to Financial Markets. But, at the Same Time, It is Part of the Real Economy. So the Fed's Policy Led to a Huge Rise in Oil Prices, Which in Turn Created a Situation Where, as the Russian Economy Continued to Deteriorate, It Was Showered With Petrodollars, With More and More Revenue Coming in. They Ended Up in the Pockets of the Oligarchs and the State. A Russian Economist Once Commented That the Russian Government's Best Friend Was the Federal Reserve. The Kremlin Was Directly Dependent on Money Printed by the Federal Reserve: the More Money the Federal Reserve Printed, the More Money the Russian Elites Got. They Didn't Have to Do Anything but Wait for the Federal Reserve to Print More Dollars.
