When Hitler launched "Operation Barbarossa" against the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, Germany's leaders justified the attack as a preemptive strike to forestall an imminent Soviet invasion of Germany and the rest of Europe. After the war, Germany's most prominent surviving military and political leaders were put to death at Nuremberg for, among other things, planning and waging "aggressive war" against the Soviet Union. The Nuremberg Tribunal rejected outright defendants' pleas that "Barbarossa" was a preventive attack.

In the decades since, historians, government officials, and standard reference works in the United States, Europe and the USSR accordingly have held that Hitler betrayed the trusting Soviet leaders to launch his treacherous surprise attack, motivated by greed for Russian and Ukrainian resources and "living space," and as part of a mad drive to "conquer the world."

In this well researched and powerfully argued study, a Russian-born specialist has presented abundant evidence that essentially affirms the German contention. Based primarily on a scrupulous analysis of the pertinent military and political literature, and the memoirs of prominent members of the Soviet military and Party elite, military analyst Suvorov has produced an important revisionist work that obliges a radical reevaluation of the long-accepted view of Second World War II history.

Despite this being a Great Reset war, Russia may have also had other motivations helping them make their decision. 15 biowar labs come to mind. And a Ukraine joined to NATO armed with atomic weapons. A post at Vineyard of the Saker helped prompt this thought.

You are correct that the US wanted an intervention. Thus, the Donbas invasion was thoroughly prepped and ready to commence to draw Russia into the fray.

However, the US never envisioned that Russia would launch the full-scale attack that it did. Support for this comes from the fact that the Ukrainian AF and Navy were destroyed (had the US thought this would happen, protective measures could;d have been taken). Moreover, the US did not anticipate an intervention that would create a cauldron behind the Donbas invasion. Again, there were no preparations by the Ukie army for that eventuality.

The US believed that Russia would adhere to it’s standard historical tactics of massive artillery preparation, instead of adapting Blitzkrieg tactics, and moving quickly and lightly and avoiding the need to reduce every enemy strongpoint. It d.id not see this coming

Finally, observe the NATO panic. How absurd to pledge aircraft that it couldn’t deliver! Again, there was no anticipation of the breadth of the Russian intervention.

The Russians have — as would be expected — several contingency plans, depending on circumstances. Do not think for a moment that there has been any dismay on a strategic level.
