#2 Odds are those were the actual strategic goals. he got those and went for more so that he could get them easily in any kind of peace resolution. I suspect on that front it all worked as planned.

However the drive stalled and created all sorts of additional complications going forward that i don't think Putin is going to like.

#4 Putin is not exactly my hero, because as an American I have been brainwashed by my criminal government, but I cannot blame him for reacting to the provocations brought on by the US cia and NATO. criminals We would not tolerate bioweapons labs, covert weapons transfers, and Neo NAZI sitting at our doorstep either.
Instead we have no problem by being invaded by a horde of illegal aliens from all over the world, drugs coming across the border in tractor trailer loads, human/child trafficking and cartels running a narco state. But God forbid Putin starts taking care of business in the Ukraine. Then we need to do everything in our power and checkbook to make it stop. And the reason is - because the cabal/NWO sees their honey pot being exposed and shut down.
I think if the USA start a war with Russia because Ukraine many Americans politicians and journalists and security executives will meet their maker, political vengeance assassinations will be the normal in USA
