Russia, on the verge of bankruptcy and with no armed forces to speak off (only smoke and mirrors), is reduced to only one option. To save face, Putin declare war on Ukraine (I don't know why he chose Ukraine), hoping that the USA/EU/neighbours/British Empire comes to Ukraine's aid, Russia loses the war quickly and gets much-needed help from the victors.
Surprisingly, Russian forces fight much better than he thought they would, equipment holds up quite well, aid is slow to come to Ukraine and nobody else seems to want to fight.
Sensing an opportunity, Putin changes his plans...
