There is no doubt now, if we didn’t know before, that Putin and his lackeys miss the old Soviet hegemony or as we like to call it, dictatorships, that gave them buffer zones of entire other countries against Germany invading again. They also entered an arms’ race with NATO selling an invasion by NATO to their people. Ukraine was central to that strategy as is Poland, Hungary the Baltic States, Albania and the Czech republics. All of them are in the firing line if not from direct invasion certainly from political interference to ensure leaders who are aligned with the Kremlin.
Anyone born today is going to grow up in this world of parrying while we wait for the leader in Russia or the US who will kick start the new European war. All Russia needs is the excuse of mass migrations and state destabilisation due to climate change to make their move.
