Reconquista.
Stopped reading right there.
Fortunately it was the first sentence.
The article says the two sides are “still shooting at each other”, it just makes the leap to assuming Russia will prevail.
So Putin sees himself not as an imperialist, but as the Abe Lincoln of greater Russia.
I keep seeing references to Putin's supposed support from the right, but I haven't actually seen people on the right supporting Putin's move into Ukraine. What's going on here?
The following is just my opinion as well as a hunch of mine. Russia and the US have always been on opposite sides of the spectrum and needless to say an outright war to settle any scores is obviously not an option. I further believe hat Putin has never warmed up to the idea to “The New World Order” or the idea of a “World Government” Some people who have never heard about it think that’s crazy, but that’s been in the works for decades and finally those people behind the scenes are going full bore and giving it all the push they can with Klaus Schwab as one of the main leaders, along with many leaders in industry, as well as technology following right behind, of course one of them being Bill Gates, as all those big wigs stand to gain should this scheme become reality, I hope for your as well as my sake it never will.
The push for this so called “New World Order” could also be seen, at least by some careful observers; how many governments world wide almost acted in “Unisom” and fell in line one by one as if all were singing the same song, originating from the same songbook when it came to responding to this Chinese created virus. Following up with draconian restrictions, new rules, forfeiture of civil rights as well as curtailing freedom etc. No doubt, some of you may have gotten a taste when they saw what crap Justin Trudeau tried to inflict upon his constituencies and how ruthless he and his cohorts went about to enforce it. That’s what dictatorship is all about.
In other words it was more or less just what you may call a “Dry run” for “The Powers to be” to find out how the public would respond and then tailor any further actions accordingly. Of course Putin had a mind of his own and did not fall for this “Crap”, call it scheme and for this reason they decided to punish him as he was the person who would NOT CONFORM TO THEIR WISHES. And the people of the Ukraine are being used as poor pawns to be used in this power struggle. I may be wrong, as I have been many times before, but in this case I don’t think so.
Very interesting!
Hitler took over Austria because he believed it to be part of Germany same with Czechoslovakia the following year. When will it end for Putin?
It also follows very closely quips from Putin in the past ten years. If so, whatever the “discussions” lead to, the result in Putin’s mind will be Ukraine in my fold. The blather of buffer state was BS, Ukraine is not the only area where Putin abuts NATO.
And China views Taiwan (formosa) as a breakaway province. Hum.
What is this amazing number and what does a democratically elected leader acting like a tyrant have to do with Ukraine? We all know Putin was not democratically elected.

This is EXACTLY what Hitler tried to do, just substitute German for Russian.
Putin himself told us the same thing in his bizarre rant about history he gave the world several days ago, claiming Ukraine doesn't even have the right to exist as a country.
What is Putin? Putin is a fascist. Putin is a Nazi.
That the Ukrainians and not Putin are the ones constantly called fascists and Nazis is just brazen deceitfulness and abuse of language, like when a black racist on MSNBC sputters that only white people can be racist.
Isn’t it already known that he wants the USSR back. The glory days of the Soviet Union.
Putin's "Mein Kampf"
Biden not only underestimated Putin (brilliant question by Doocy), he didn’t have a clue to begin with to even make an estimation of anyone. Putin underestimated the Ukranian will to fight. Now, he will have to kill a lot more of them (and he will) and perhaps even just about completely depopulate the Ukraine of Ukranians and move in Russians. If he doesn’t do that, he will have a permanent boil on his forehead from the hatred he will have created. Some problems are never solved, really.
"In view of the historical destiny of Russia and its peoples, the Leninist principles of state-building were not only a mistake, but far worse than a mistake. After the collapse of the USSR in 1991 this became absolutely obvious.Of course, the events of the past cannot be changed, but we must at least speak about them directly and honestly, without reservations and without political coloration. I can only add that the considerations of the current political conjuncture, however spectacular and advantageous they may seem at a given moment, should not or cannot under any circumstances form the basis for the fundamental principles of statehood.
This is neither the time nor the place to discuss issues of state or constitutional law and to define the concept of citizenship. Nevertheless, the question arises: why did the country have to be shaken even further under these already difficult circumstances?"
Putin says it out loud, in black and white: 'You have no 'state', you have no 'sovereignty', and you have no 'citizenship' -- other than what I grant you of all of those 3 -- so, I'm going to Kiev'.
People in that thread didn't want to believe it he was going to invade then (or now!).
