Welcome to the Putin Doctrine. He looks at Europe and the United States and sees LGBTQIA, which he perceives (correctly) as weakness, and proceeds accordingly. Power loves a vacuum.

"Well heck, I suppose a Spanish invasion of Virginia or Colorado is to be expected any day now." Too late. Spain's former subjects have already invaded.

What Eastern Europe needs is the second amendment. Russia would not invade if every head of household was armed.
