Nah, I think Putin went fucking crazy and thought that invading Ukraine would work.

Scuttlebutt is that, during COVID, Putin was really afraid of getting sick and basically sequestered himself the entire time while only communicating with a handful of people. One of them was Dugin. He basically did the world leader equivalent of spending too much time in the basement and then he went out to touch grass.

The US response was fucky because no one expected it to happen, like Saddam with Kuwait.

First term Trump stated he phoned up Putin and told him in no uncertain terms that if he invaded, America would militarily intervene. Then the Resident-of-The-United-States took over and fucked up afghanistan + was to all and sundry a sundowning old man. Putin took his chance, believing his own propaganda at how it was 3 days to Kiev, the VDV got slaughtered, and then we settled into the trench-war it is now because Putin (rightly) guessed the Resident would not send troops.

The USA was actively warning Kiev that Russia was about to invade and it was the Ukranians who said that Russia wouldn't. You have it backward. What the USA didn't expect was that their sanctions would be so ineffective or that the Russian people wouldn't leap out of their seats in protest against the invasion but instead be kind of okay with it. In Russia it's viewed as a defensive war.

He wouldn’t have sent troops to Taiwan, either. He tipped his hand that he wouldn’t. China just got shaky knees
 
Once I get a time machine I will use it to go back to World War 1 and World War 2.
Not to change the outcome, but just to get them to name it anything other than "World War I/II" so that I never have to hear the phrase "World War III" again.

You could say that this would technically prevent World War III from ever happening.

I mean to be fair WW1 was called "The Great War" at the time, the World War moniker was just a result of 2 kicking off.

So you'd just have to change 2 to something else. "The 70 Nation War" maybe.
