Nigga. You're doing it right now. You're not in the room. You're not a player in this game, otherwise, you wouldn't be on here typing all this out. You'd be too busy responding to the current crisis. You don't know what he was prepared for. And you sound goofy comparing real life to a TV show. He has a council of advisors. No one suggested he sits in an empty room plotting shit. You sound dumb.
it is actually pretty easy to figure out what world leaders want if you pay attention to the ideologies surrounding them.

There it is, right there. Reads like a checklist, doesn't it.
Hitler HAD to invade the USSR, even though it was obviously retarded, because Nazi ideology was obsessed with the idea of conquering the Slavic lands and turning them into farmland for German colonists.
Dubya HAD to invade Iraq, even though it was obviously retarded, because NeoCon ideology was obsessed with the idea of replacing Saddam Hussein with a pro-US puppet.
Putin HAD to invade Ukraine, which is starting to look SUSPICIOUSLY like a retarded idea, because Russian nationalist ideology has been obsessed with the idea that Ukraine played a key role in Russian history 1,300 years ago, therefore Ukraine is part of Russia and not a real country.
"Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics"
Its right there in that book I linked, a book that has been incredibly influential with Russian elites since the late 90s.
Putin BELIEVES this shit. How do I know? He's said it repeatedly in speeches. He said it again in the speech last Monday:
"Ukraine has never had its own authentic statehood. There has never been a sustainable statehood in Ukraine."
