    I had the hypothesis that, with the proximity to the election, the invasion of Ukraine was also Putin setting the stage for Trump to have grounds to justify declaring national Martial Law followed by the summary dissolution of Congress and the suspension of the Constitution. All it would have taken would be for us to “aid” Ukraine and have Putin “retaliate” against somewhere in the Pacific NW. I’m guessing Portland since it is a liberal stronghold. Putin could have invaded Portland, Trump would have send in the boys in green to “drive them back”, but not before declaring martial law and somehow not before all of the liberal officials in the city were rounded up and executed. He could have then just installed cronies of his to take over the city and the rest of the plan would have already been taking place.
