I believe it is much simpler. Putin has had enough of Nato expansion in East Europe and hypocrisy of the West. He obviously feels kind of encircled and is concerned by the western staged regime changes in so many countries in direct Russian neighbourhood.

I'm not sure if Putin will survive his leap of faith politically but i'm sure Russia will survive Putin. As will other systems that don't follow US-American cultural pseudo-world-dictatorship.

Strategically this attack can be interpreted as an attack on the hegemony of the US-Dollar which is long overdue. And if sucessful the whole world (except the US) will profit from becoming more multipolar financially.

hypocrisy of the West

Yes, with a little push from the media nearly everyone in the US decided that Putin deserved all the blame and the US had never done and would never do anything to compare with Russian aggression—such hypocrisy from a warlike country such as the US.

People in the US usually take up the will of the executive, enitrely in the hands of neoconservative Jews. Neocons don't even have to do anything at this point. They could be anti-war and you get a prepackaged segment on CNN, MSNBC going on about how Putin is corrupt (he is) but we need to arm Ukraine or send in troops, and they would hoorah for war .
