What is Putins end game?

He wants to restore Russia to the Empire that it was from 1721 onwards that included much of Scandanavia and went all the way down to Turkey . The war that happened at the time lasted 21 years.
Neither Norway, Sweden nor Finland want to become part of any Russian Empire.

Here is a link to the translated text of an interview he gave recently talking about his intention.

We only know what he said and that was that he wanted to get rid of the US bioweapons labs in Ukraine. You know the labs the DOD just admitted to running all 46 of them. Putin is the good guy in this story and the US/NATO is the evil empire.
@hippyjoe1955 I hope the firm is coming after you

@Thewhazzupdude Don’t worry it is.
@hippyjoe1955 There are no "US bioweapons labs in Ukraine." You've swallowed some more Russian propaganda, that's all, [b]LOL!!![/b]

And that's not what Putin said when he started his "two day special military operation." Putin said his intent “de-Nazifying” Ukraine. And three months ago, when you were regurgitating Putin's original propaganda, you were warning us all about the Nazis, [b]ROTFL!!![/b]

@ElwoodBlues So you can't read a press release? Too Funny!! Run along son. There is undoubtedly some science you don't understand so you can make a etch a sketch graph to show your ignorance.

@hippyjoe1955 You're the one who can't read.

@OggggO So about those 46 labs in Ukraine. What do you really think they were doing there and why would they be in Ukraine and not the US?
OggggO · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 Well, if you had actually read the very press release you linked to, you'd know that. It's laid out quite clearly.

@hippyjoe1955 Since you seem illiterate:
[quote]• Public health facilities and biological laboratories around the world maintain and study pathogens to be able to confirm outbreaks of disease and to improve early detection and diagnostic capabilities. These facilities use specific pathogens because they are endemic to their country, or because they are at risk of spread from other countries. All member countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) must have such capabilities to detect and respond to disease threats. This is a basic capability for national health security.
• The United States, through BTRP, has invested approximately $200 million in Ukraine since 2005, supporting 46 Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and diagnostic sites. BTRP has improved Ukraine’s biological safety, security and surveillance for both human and animal health. By supporting safer and more effective disease detection, this assistance directly improved Ukraine’s COVID-19 response. BTRP partners with the World Health Organization, the World Organization for Animal Health, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other health institutions in providing this assistance.[/quote]

@OggggO And you believe those press releases on face value why? No one else does. Remember covid? Did you learn nothing? How about Iraq? Remember the weapons of mass destruction?

@hippyjoe1955 Dude, [i]you're[/i] the one who trumpeted this as an admission of bioweapon labs. Admit you owned yourself, take the loss, and move on.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@OggggO The fact that they admitted the labs existed after having denied them being in Ukraine.... Please try to get over your cranial rectal insertion problem.
@hippyjoe1955 Denial? What denial?? Got a link???

I thought you said the press release [i]proved[/i] your allegatiosn of "bioweapons labs." Instead, it seems to prove your illiteracy, [b]LOL!!![/b]
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues Son you don't do links. You aren't smart enough to find them. Run along now. No one wants to talk to you.
@hippyjoe1955 Nice ad hominem fallacy, dude!! Is that your way of telling us there's no evidence to support your allegation of "bioweapons labs"? You'll spend the next HOUR arguing why you can't spend two minutes to supply a link???

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues you are just not bright. Have a nice oblivious life.
@hippyjoe1955 And what does that have to do with your abject failure to supply evidence to support your absurd allegation?

Confined · 56-60, M
@Thewhazzupdude i have no doubt the democrats were using those labs to keep the pandemic going. Many dems went to visit.

@ElwoodBlues Once again you are dead wrong!
OggggO · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 Haha, no, they never denied having pathogen detection labs, they've been very clear since the beginning of Putin's invasion that those were there and that his claims of them being bioweapon labs was false. This is just more of the same.
@CestManan [quote]Once again you are dead wrong![/quote] And your evidence is dippyjoke?? [b]ROTFL!!![/b]

CestManan · 46-50, F
@ElwoodBlues You know as well as I do that everything DippyJoe posts is a fact and could be backed up by solid evidence.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@OggggO Actually they did deny it for many years. Maybe you have memory issues. Oh well.
@CestManan Perhaps YOU have the evidence to support these claims??

OggggO · 36-40, M
@CestManan Since when?
@hippyjoe1955 Sure, buddy.
