There seems to be a presupposition that Moscow desires to conquer Europe like the Soviets designed for the triumph of Communism. I think that’s a straw man, and that Russia’s real motive is to counter NATO’s continued expansion to Russia’s southern border. As soon as the February coup replaced Kiev’s previously elected government with a pro-Western regime, it was obvious that Russia would have to occupy Crimea and then secure a broad and defensible land bridge to Crimea through eastern Ukraine. But that has nothing to do with any conquest of Europe or reclaiming the dead Russian empire from NATO.
I think it is the invading and conquering of countries that gives people the impression that Russia is invading and conquering countries.
It’s very simple Europe is depending on Putin’s gas. And he’s depending on their cash. Who is going to cut that branch of the tree???
However, it seems to me that many here have drunk the Kool-Aid and are totally blind to the NWO, where the real issue is burried!!!
