Revisionist history. Putin is not trying to recreate the Soviet Union. Roosevelt did that at Yalta by agreeing to where troops would fight the Germans. There was no logical reason for most of the East European countries to come under later Russian rule. iwm.org.uk/history/how-ch…
Many conflate the 1895 Russian Empire with the 1991 Soviet Empire. Two different animals. Oh look Alaska no stans, and not much Europe. Putin is not "rebuilding" either. 
Like Saudia Arabia, UAE and other petrodictatorshps, Putin is simply pushing Russian spoiler influence into dead zones in Africa, Europe and Asia. Controling or squat on resources that China needs to send to the developing world. Putin & co are simply stealing stuff.
As for Ukraine Putin is just stealing people (44 million added to a languishing 144M) and manufacturing capability (Antonov, Motor Sich etc) that Russia needs desperately. He hopes the Ukrainian people will not be angry and get back to work for new owners.
If the media would stop being target fixated they would discover a web of Russian fuckery aided by the UAE with KSA money all over the world. Here are Russian mercenaries squatting on Libya's largest oil field. Yes close to Europe. libyaalahrar.net/russias-wagner…
Little things like this deal get buried under the bang bang. China love Putin lubricant. spglobal.com/platts/en/mark…
Putin's History lessons are for the benefit of the Russian people. His and the Gulf petrodictators and China's goal is to topple the US global stranglehold on money. Control that has offensive (to Putin at least) human rights and legal restrictions via sanctions.
Putin is not paranoid. America has been fucking with him every since 2000. In 2019 Clinton called his re-lection illegitimate. Putin hates Hillary Clinton. Who else do we know hates Clinton? Hmm wouldn't that make them allies? Yep. clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/show/100…
In American you can draw a straight line from Russia fuckerists right into the Trump White House. Berhends and Rohrabacher always needed money. Why go to Russia, promote anti sanctions film and bring back Russian operatives to meet with Trump people? thedailybeast.com/paul-behrends-…
How do we explain people like George Nader. Setting up meetings with Prince with Russians and then straight into the fucking White House to plan Trump's middle east quid pro quo. Could we make it more obvious?
Do we believe that Trump's and his team's officious relationship with Russia, North Korea, Israel, UAE and KSA was based on benefit to the American people or cold hard cash? I dunno half of America thinks Trump is a bought and sold, brokeass traitor. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
There is also another wrinkle that binds crazy people together. We see it in QAnon, Putin's advisors, end of days weirdos and other cultish movements. proekt.media/en/article-en/…
There is no reason why Putin won't keep going, he won't be able to do this again. The world has gone from disbelief to concern that there are no barriers to dictator ambitions unless you build them. eurasiantimes.com/russia-sends-b…
