“It needs buffer zones and that’s why they will need to destroy, control or take everything to the east of central Romania (look at a topographic map), Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltics.”
Well, Russia kind of jumped the gun, eh? You said Russia needs to destroy, control or take everything EAST of...Ukraine. Then what in the hell is Russia doing invading Ukraine if the goal was everything EAST of Ukraine? Kind of sounds like Russia went WEST from that line in invading Ukraine, eh?
Yes. I was wrong on direction. But if you look at the map you’ll see what I mean.
Of course, Putin could just be mean and invaded Ukraine because he just felt like it.
Usually look at what people do and not what they say.
