But years before that, Putin announced his intentions:

“In a 2005 Kremlin speech, Putin characterized the collapse of the Soviet Union as the ‘greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the Twentieth Century.’ “
Russian propaganda today is all about showing Putin correcting that “catastrophe”.

Only a catastrophe in his evil brain. Putin was the only one who wanted to invade Ukraine. Why? Because raw capitalism via wealthy oligarchs is what really runs Russia these days. Not dusty old Tsarist fantasies. And Putin is bad for business. Russia’s hydrocarbon exports business. Oligarchs need to kill / defenestrate this Putin, and they will.

The world had a very nice peaceful interlude for every other nation, while Russia was on the ropes. Example: The old KGB was a prime mischief-maker in the Middle East. Now with Putin, this is back with the Russia-Iran alliance. Putin loves to ally with Muslims such as Chechens and Iranians. He fancies he is using them. But his Muslim pets are using him much more. How? Because Muslims are united under the Muhammed cult of personality. Putin’s cult of personality is pathetic. Because he never founded a loony religion.

Look at L Ron Hubbard. He was smart enough to start his own religion. So Scientology endures. Hubbard said -— If you want to get rich, start a religion.
