Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has recently told the world that nations which separated themselves from the Soviet Union, specifically those of the Intermarium, the lands between the Black, Baltic, and Adriatic Seas, are not independent but, rather, “masterless” for the moment. He singled out Poland, Ukraine,” and the “Baltic provinces.”
It is telling that Lavrov did not call Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania — “Baltic States” [strani Baltii] but “Baltic provinces” [Pribaltika]...
What Lavrov implied, of course, was that Russia would take care of the master part sooner or later, slowly but surely. But sometimes the Kremlin sees an opportunity and moves fast. It just has in Kazakhstan, hasn’t it?
Russia has been feeling its oats for a while and it is on an offensive, including nuclear threats. Its goal is to restore the old Soviet Empire: internal for now (beware Ukraine, the Baltic states, Kazakhstan, and the others).
Naturally, the external part of the Soviet Bloc is on Moscow’s menu next. Poland and the rest are to be vassalized again.
However, the ultimate strategic goal is to reclaim its place as a global superpower, a latter-day USSR. The universalist ideological allure of Communism may be missing from Moscow’s bid for domination, but that has not stopped China’s ascent...
The strategy has been (and will be) implemented in increments rather than in a single mad charge. Moscow has all the time in the world. Since imperialism is a crime of opportunity, it will seek out such an opportunity, both actively and passively, to present itself. And then it will move.
It is a particularly bad time now because America is perceived as weak and disorganized. President Joe Biden does not really inspire confidence. Can his administration be relied upon to lead NATO? To protect our allies on the Eastern flank?...

“Putin and Xi recognize weakness in US leadership.”
Both would be foolish not to exploit American weakness. In the case of the Chinese, the US will assist in any way possible.
They see an aggressive US deep-state, and a weak Biden.
They already own Biden.
He moves, they expose him.
“Both would be foolish not to exploit American weakness. In the case of the Chinese, the US will assist in any way possible.”
Yes! And they are both NOT foolish. So, what’s next? Maybe we can send a tranny or two over to take care of these pests or cancel them from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Yes. Problem solved.
In the end, “only the strong survive.” We may be hurting!
The worst thing they have to fear from Biden is another pants accident if he is foolish enough to challenge them to a pushups match.
Indeed. Sounds like the Bear is reallllly afraid of Depends Man... That demented monster some call President now is gonna get our sons and daughters killed - just so Hunter can get more blow and a big paycheck...
The Soviets want their slaves back.
It is interesting how the article says that Lavrov said these states were not independent, followed by a quote lavror actually said.
But Lavrov never said these states are not independent.
The journalist put words in his mouth and badly misrepresented what Lavrov actually said.
This is journalistic malpractice.
Suppose Putin and Xi decide to retake Ukraine and Taiwan, respectively, possibly in March, after the Winter Olympics. Would Biden and his handlers blink, knowing a probable defeat of U.S. and NATO forces is quite possible? The Russians and Chinese are not crippled by women, the marginally fit and perverts in their front line ranks. Better to have another Afghanistan like embarrassment than a battlefield defeat.
The Comintern is reforming and deciding how to split up the world.
