The point is that he has no interest in doing so, and never said he did.

Actions speak louder than words, although he has indicated that he wants the old USSR back in place.

And, his actions include taking Crimea and invading Ukraine and strong-arming other neighboring countries into his sphere of influence. His neighboring countries fear Russia, and even territories inside the Russian federation hint at splitting away.

Russia has been a bully and that's undeniable.

Good, so we agree that the other guy is LYING, by trying to put words in his mouth. As to ‘indicating’, that’s an OPINION that both of you are welcome to have, and my opinion is different and is based on his ACTIONS.

As to what he wants, he stated it early last year:
1) NATO stays out of Ukraine (but could join EU)
2) Ukraine gets De-Nazified (and yes, I’m happy to post WESTERN headlines for Holocuast-denier types)
3) Donbass gets to vote for greater Autonomy (while staying in Ukraine)
4) Crimea stays with Russia

Ukraine might still be a country today if the Neocons had simply PICKED UP THE PHONE, but we’ll never know, since the Neocons told Putin to stuff it and refused to think he was serious.

Far from obvious. Near as I can tell, they are just defending themselves.

Again, the people who now rule over us by means of that flagrantly stolen 2020 election, want to rule the whole world the same way and the only thing now standing between them and that lofty goal is the Russian military. We should all be praying for a swift and total Russian victory; basically a victory of Christians over Nazism.
