> the West will invade

Year after year the west issue attacked. How many times has Russia attacked its neighbours?

Transnistria/Moldova 1992, Georgia 1992/1993, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014, Ukraine 2022.

Russia believes they have to attack their neighbours, because they believe they need to push all the way to geographic boundaries like the sea or mountains.

Unfortunately this is how dictators think. Nobodies die for their ambitions and tahts what we see.

Putin believes he needs the boundaries to be what Stalin took after WW2 from the old and sick Roosevelt who gave him too much of Eastern Europe.

Have you watched too much of Peter Zeihan? Dude is mostly talking nonsense confidently while hiking. As someone living in Ukraine I can tell you he understands literally nothing about our politics, defense capabilities etc but talks very confidently about it.

I am not a Putin supporter and i hope he rots in hell, the sooner the better, but that doesnt change the fact that he does wish to recreate the USSR and its satellite state system.

Im sorry your home country cant be left in peace but those are the facts.

Putin has said the dissolution of the USSR was the greatest political tragedy of the 21C.

USSR bit might be true, but the Russian invasion so far is the top contender for the greatest tragedy political or not of the first half of the XXI century.

You didnt read my response. I simply repeated what PUTIN said, im not talking about actual reality. The two are very different. In Russia only one persons opinion or will matters and thats PUTIN.

Not sure how what you said is related to what I said. You are saying "no, you are mistaken", but I didn't make any of the claims you attribute to me.
