Fiona Hill: ‘Elon Musk Is Transmitting a Message for Putin’

Was way wrong...

"Hill: Putin’s initial goal when he launched the invasion was the collapse of central Ukrainian authority, the imposition of a puppet government in Kyiv, and all local governments swearing allegiance to Moscow, probably with some political commissar-type proxy leaders put in place around the country — the kind of thing that we saw happening in 2014 in the Russian-occupied territories of Donetsk and Lugansk and Crimea. But of course, that didn’t happen.

MY RESPONSE AT THAT TIME:

8 months in the war 

("Putin’s initial goal when he launched the invasion was the collapse of central Ukrainian authority, the imposition of a puppet government in Kyiv, and all local governments swearing allegiance to Moscow..."

This is where I strongly disagree with just about everybody, this is the talking point we are being force fed and it is simply just not true. 

His goals were as follows

 1) The destruction of NATO (wait till Germany is freezing this winter, then come talk to me about it),...on and on etc...
