“Imperial expansion”
The old Soviet Union has shrunk to way below its previous size—calling recovery of previously controlled territory “imperial expansion” is ludicrous on its face.
Read Putin’s article. It’s long but revealing. He’s not talking regaining the old Soviet Republics. He’s talking regaining Catherine The Great’s empire, which includes a large part of Poland. That’s expansion.
Next straw man argument in lieu of doing homework?
