Again this silly point. There are already NATO countries on Russia's borders for years. Right now there are large NATO forces in said member countries. Closer to both Moscow and St Petersburg than Ukraine is.

Geez. Do you really think NATO can get any closer to Moscow than it already is via Ukraine? That's a hard no. In no way at all can NATO get closer to Moscow without invading Russia. And we all know the invasions are going the other way. From Russia into its neighbours.

When will people hung up on Putin's NATO angle start internalising the implications of this very simple and thoroughly logical point? Fighting NATO expansion by invading Ukraine would be entirely symbolic by Russia. And you don't send tens of thousands of people to die for a symbolic point.

People should, in my opinion, get this through their skulls. Russia is there to grab strategic territories. At all cost. Be it human lives or suffering. Locally or globally. First and foremost. Like. 95% of it. That is what their actions speak of. The other 5% are minor goals and smoke and mirrors on a grand scale. The regions they are annexing is 100% consistent with a long running campaign to expand and dominate. Not even in the Eastern European context. But in the context of previous expansion in Asia going back decades, if not 100s of years. You can even clearly see it in a current map of Asia.

Soviet plan (dark lines) vs their current objectives (light lines).

Russia has wished to gain access to the Persian gulf since they found out about it. This is not idle speculation. It was the USSR's primary expansion objective in Asia. The blue was almost all part of the USSR, and the Soviets hardly made a secret of it. Easy to look up. But, they were stopped in Afghanistan. Sentiment from within Russia makes it clear they want all that back, but for now they're playing a slow game of pushing through and protecting (as per gaining control over Crimea and Eastern Ukraine) a corridor made up primarily at present by the Caucasus region between the black sea and the Caspian Sea. And strategic surrounding territories. Crimea and Eastern Ukraine are obvious targets within this context. When Russia talks about security concerns, then it is concern entirely relating this.

It's even possible to predict their next objectives based on this thesis.

Observe. The Caspian Basin Region of Kazakhstan. A mirror objective in relation to Eastern Ukraine and Crimea.

All to alleviate what they perceive as a strategic weakness in this corridor.

A concern of Moscow they have never made any secret of either.

In a decade or two after, if not sooner. The Russo-Iran war. With their sights on the Azerbaijani and other Occidental regions of Iran shown in yellow below (clearly Iran likes playing with fire, or are somewhat compromised already)

Only the assumption that this is still their primary goal explains their otherwise puzzling indifference to other NATO member states on their borders, closer to Moscow and St Petersburg, and near hysterical focus on Eastern Ukraine. Countering NATO expansion, in my opinion, is a big fat made up excuse.

Russia's looting from Ukraine galleries, Kherson been the largest and only on oblast captured by invaders lost the most. Of course like the abducted children, Russian simps will claim they were removed to protect them

One might ask: What's one more depravity? But I do find this particularly loathsome. If only that it so blatantly illustrates their intent and class. All the art in the world is not worth the life of a child after all. But, it is clear that it's part of a wider bid to destroy Ukraine's very identity and culture. And it truly is not just an affront to the Ukrainian people, but it makes all of us, everywhere, that much poorer too. No matter where it's located. Art is a wealth shared by all humanity. And they have zero concerns about it.

The real fight will be over Belarus because that opens the way to Moscow. Most people there also want to be free of the Russian yoke.

Russia is still going to find out just how the western military manufacturers can ramp production and out produce their enemies, in the same way that the same west saved Russia from the Nazis in 1942-1945.
 
Russian state media still did not get the Xi putin agreement of no nuclear war. Someone please send them memo!!

The well-known Russian actress Maria Shukshina believes that the American Hymars multiple launch rocket system is hitting the coordinates of those vaccinated by Sputnik. Her words are transmitted by the Ax Live Telegram channel .


“What began in 2020 was the beginning of the American infectious-military special operation. First, a certain virus is invented, then a vaccine is developed for it, which leaves a chip with coordinates for the satellite, ”Shukshina said.
