Hmmm... The last ‘Russian’ speaking country Putin pined on about and invaded was the Ukraine...
If I were an Israeli I wouldn’t be too worried though... Putin can’t win that war, so the idea of him starting another is highly unlikely.
America on the other hand will bring Iran to it’s knees in short order, winning this war in a matter of weeks. Unlike Putin who promised to win the Ukrainian war in a matter of weeks... Trump keeps his promisses.
Maybe Putin was just looking for an escape excuse
The only Russian speaking portion of Uk was the Donbas — the section that voted years ago to leave Uk and join Russia.
Saying that Uk is Russian is like saying that all of Ireland is either Protestant or Catholic — that can get you killed.
