Why would Russia invade Ukraine?

Despite persistent rumors the Russians insist Putin is fine.

what kind of rumors?

Lots of rumors swirling that he has some serious health issues and survived a coup attempt.

ah. i haven't heard any of that. i have heard speculation since this all started that he sort of went batty during the covid lockdowns but i think that was just theatre headlines that looked good with pics of him sitting at 50 feet long tables.

Heres the latest:

As Putin health rumors swirl, Lavrov denies Russian leader is seriously ill
It’s at least the third time the Kremlin has been forced to deny rumors of the president’s ill health.

i googled it since i read your post and it seems the rumors were all around May 15th. I would think that 2 weeks later its safe to say the "coup" was probably just an internet rumor.

i sure wish it would happen. i kind of hoped it would happen before now.

Heard a comedian the other day:
With the way our economy is tanking are we sure Russia isnt sanctioning us?

Also, when Shit Show was questioned whether his moderate sanctions were enough four months ago he said they'd take about a month to get the full effect/affect. Well, that "1 month" was about 3 months ago and the Ruble is strong and Russia is selling oil like crazy and people are begging them to increase grain exports.

It’s not a long read. China is working to establish belt road initiatives globally, in OUR hemisphere. War will be fought over corridors more than territories. So this dude says
