I agree split Russia up into 3 or 4 separate countries to make them less adventurous.
Russia is already conducting a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.
The problem is there are no natural barriers within Russia other than the Ural mountains. There are plains from the Urals to the English Channel and from the Urals to the Pacific ocean.
Correct, that is why they want buffers between them and Europe.
And just who will do that, you mean after the nuclear war. Are you insane.
I suspect Putin thinks he can turn China when the time comes.
Or he thinks that is a problem for the next guy.
Eastern Ukraine is demographically ethnic Russian.
It is the same old story repeated throughout history. Ethnicity is the cause of conflict. Russia is only interested in Eastern Ukraine, where Russia has had a presence since czarist times.
nailed it.
a truly unhinged rant by putin, after three weeks of doing everything he can to destroy his country. pic.twitter.com/dsBw519xGU— ian bremmer (@ianbremmer) March 16, 2022
'We'???
You have my permission to go stop him.

“If we don’t stop this prick we’ll be reenacting Dunkirk.”
I disagree with this statement.
Russia drew a line over Belarus & Ukraine not Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Albania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Estonia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Slovakia, or Slovenia.
Sure, they bitched and moaned as we added pissant & pygmy countries to the NATO coalition but did nothing in the way of warfare.
To pretend they are going to Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, & London is exaggerated propaganda of the first order.
Well, she has some of the main traits down.
That’s for sure.
Looks like she may have fifth generation genes
Has that telltale hyena laugh
Hyenas in the MSM seem to follow her around
Is rumored to leave a trail of hyena like scat behind /s
Made hyena like faces when attending the SOTU speach
Biden is rumored to ask if that “B” is in her office /s
And her SATs ranked in the same areas as hyena scores
Just sayin...
Nazis=women and children to Putin and his terrorists.
“is time to denazify Poland”
ROFLOL!!! Who knew Poland was a hotbed of Nazi’s. Where’s the “Not this bleep again” guy?
Stop asking reasonable questions!

Eastern Ukraine is demographically ethnic Russian.
Well, by that logic, Mexico would be entitled to invade a lot of Southern California.
Regards,
Eastern Ukraine is demographically ethnic Russian.
***The same exact logic Hitler used to invade Sudetenland.
Given Poland’s history, they have zero trust for Russia. If I were in their place, I’d probably feel the same way.
Yes, the nonsense in this is waist-deep:
“After the end of the First World War, Poland occupied Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia, territories of the Russian Empire, which the young Soviet state could not defend. In Ukraine, the Poles carried out Jewish pogroms and mass shootings in the spring of 1920. In the city of Rivne Poles shot more than three thousand civilians, in the city of Tetyevo - about four thousand Jews. Thousands of Red Army soldiers who had been taken prisoner were shot in Polish camps.”
The WWI allies also attacked the “young Soviet state” when WWI ended; were they wrong? If Poland was so anti-Semitic, why were so many Jews living there on the eve of the combined attacks from Hitler and Stalin? If they are so “anti-Ukrainian”, why have most of the current refugees fled to Poland?
“Only in 1939 were these lands liberated by the Soviet army.
In the same year, 1920, the Poles captured Vilnius and the surrounding area - about a third of the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. The USSR returned these territories to Lithuania after the war.”
Who writes this stuff? The USSR ruled these areas until the early 1990s; at least Churchill understood in the end that Britain had wasted its lives and treasure without saving any “democracy” or “freedom”...
