Kill the Ukrainian leaders and generals. Destroy all communications.
And major military installations.

Get the country to then surrender.

Send in ground troops to secure the other cities.
And do mop up.

Putin wanted to show the world he is a strong, in control, superpower, who would control the West. He hoped to shift global power in his favor.
He would control the West. China would control the East.

Together they would be the 21st century superpowers.

Once Putin took over the US GOP, and owned half the congress, weakened America, he felt invincible. Ready to take on Europe.
