    yes, and the destabilization that has led to this opportunity can be traced back to Russia’s invasion of UA in 2014.

      Reasons I see that this happened now:

      • Trump cares less about international law than any US president in modern history
      • He needed a distraction from other issues that were tanking his numbers
      • Most of the proxy powers that Iran would normally use to respond to attacks on their soil have been destroyed or neutered
      • Mossad probably has some blackmail material on Trump and pressured him into attacking (this last point is speculation)

      These are certainly not all direct results of Russia’s meddling in Ukraine.
