    This special operation has been one big feast of corruption

    Not only did Putin's FSB officers convince him about Russophile sentiment in Ukraine, but that there are underground pro-Russian guerrilla groups ready to spring into action. And these guerrilla groups need funding! On top of that, more money is needed to bribe local Ukrainian officials.
    Of course there were no guerrillas

    Putin spent billions of dollars on what he thought would be the smoothest military operation ever, Russian soldiers being met with praise and flowers etc. I argue that for Putin this was a prerequisite to start the attack.

    This is also my argument to say that Putin is not an evil dictator, just a clueless dupe, soft-spoken, stuttering beta-male who is completely unfit for his role, who trusted everyone like a blind kitten and has been exploited by everyone in his circle.

    *puts tin foil hat on* Or maybe even he was put in presidency exactly for this purpose. Putin did not come to power through elections, he was appointed as acting president after Yeltsin's resignations. He won the elections which followed, but Russians will vote for whoever is already in charge anyway.

    Russia died in 1991 and has been decaying for the last 30 years. There are conspiracy theories which say that real population in Russia is down to 90 mill, not the official 140 mill.
