He's on an ego trip to reclaim lost Soviet territory. He thought he was going to bolster his legacy but it has backfired and he has become a world pariah.

He’s not worried about what the world thinks. The sociopath is just going to keep moving forward. He’s on pace for his objective, people who think it’s taking longer than it should don’t know history.

I know he doesn't care what the world thinks but sanctions will destroy the economy and when people in Moscow start feeling the pinch the protests are going to magnify. Even a couple of the oligarchs have begun speaking out. I also wonder what his game plan is. He can take control of the Country but he'll have to keep troops there to maintain control. Once he pulls his troops out the Ukrainians are back in control and he's back to where he started with the blood of thousands on his hands.

It’s hard to say for sure. He may settle for part of Ukraine, and a pledge of no more NATO encroachment towards Russia’s border. He obviously wants to completely restore the old Soviet Union, but may settle for now. Hopefully with pressure from within it ends up a total failure, although I doubt it.
