Don't ban me @Skinny.
I told her this is the shit I came up with:
1) It might be a ploy for Putin to be the bad cop, push Russia so far to one side of the spectrum that the country rebounds to become pro west and pro democracy. If he doesn't push it far enough the people won't have enough resolve to make it happen.
2) Ukraine and Russia are in on this, invade Ukraine to the point where the West would sell them the best weapons, so Russia has unlimited access to them to reverse engineer and copy all the tech in it, and also develop countermeasures.
I reiterate to her just because someone can come up with it doesn't mean it's actually true.

I'm the sort of person that doesn't like to engage with people because it just becomes a shit show, but I find it a lot more entertaining to engage with people so that's what I do. I just poke the bear to see what happens, makes life more interesting. It just blows my mind that the majority of people think they actually know what they're talking about, it's their level of confidence. The more you are confident about something, the more suspect I get.
