Putin made it quite clear with his Peter the Great reference, he aims to take back territory. But you are saying it's about Nazis and Imperialists? Do you disagree with Putin's motives then?
It is unclear how much of that is for show and how much is BS.

We don't really know yet what Russia's long term motives are.

It's possible that this is merely training for a blitz through Europe to destabalize it and remove that threat, maybe not. It all depends on how all the alliances come together in the end, how Russia's hand is forced.

I don’t care about who said what or quotes. When I do I need full speeches and context. To the point all it takes is an adult with life experience to think in order to understand provocation, outcomes, retaliation, geopolitics, etc.

Scott Ritter sounds like a hack. But a pro-Russian hack so pro-Russian haters of Ukrainians will use him.
Seems more like he'll just say whatever somebody pays him to say to me. There are tons such career "influencers" mercilessly pounding away at the sensibilities of a large portion of voters in some countries. And of course there's a fair amount of leakage into other countries.

Except we don't support Russia.... you just pretend we do.
I must have missed the posts you wrote where you have called out Russia for the same things you call America or Ukraine out for.

America invaded Iraq and stole their oil! Cue loads of shouting and anger.

Russia invaded Ukraine and stole their Natural Gas resources ... Silence. Like I could hear a pin drop on a fluffy carpet silence.

So what you are saying is you don't want to hear any contradictory facts and evidence that counters your narrative, so you can keep feeling that Russia is good here.

I really don't care about Russia. I care about innocent people who have been used as cannon fodder.

No, I have no trouble understanding who cast the first stone.
Then I don't understand why you waste your time by asking for clarification on the Imperialist and Nazi first stone casters. Guess you have plenty of it.

Well I did ask you for clarification on who these Imperialist and Nazi's are, which you blithely ignored. Mind responding to that question?

Yury Shvytkin, Russian State Duma deputy and Deputy Chairman of the Committee on National Defence, has said that Russia should launch a missile strike on the US embassy building in Kyiv in response to the supply of HIMARS launchers to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.


Source: Shvytkin in a comment to the Russian media outlet "Lenta.ru"


Quote from Shvytkin: "This (supply of HIMARS – UP) once again highlights the step-by-step movement towards World War III by the United States. It should be understood that we must react harshly. In my opinion, the reaction today should also apply to those countries that supply weapons (to Ukraine – UP).


And this isn’t just about destroying infrastructure or anything, but I think the main decision-making centre is the US embassy. I think that sooner or later it will become a target for the Russian Armed Forces, the national police of the "DPR" and "LPR".


My position is that the government quarter in Kyiv should be destroyed, the relevant locations should be destroyed. Yes, this work is being done by the Ministry of Defence (of Russia – UP) but it is necessary to launch more massive strikes.


We will not simply look at this outrage. When they hit one cheek, we won't turn the other."

Details: Shvytkin is most concerned that when using the HIMARS installation as an operational-tactical missile system, its range will be more than 195 kilometres. In his opinion, the Ukrainian military-political leadership will use these systems to strike the territory of the Russian Federation.

According to American journalists, the US government has decided to provide only the type of ammunition which allows the use of HIMARS as multiple rocket launchers with a range of about 80 km.

At the same time, the Russian deputy boasted that the Russian army allegedly has plenty of air defence resources and electronic warfare equipment that can interfere with American launchers.

Note: Himars (High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System) is a modern, multifunctional complex on a wheeled chassis. The U.S. Army used them during the 2003 Iraq military campaign and the Gulf War.

Background:

Wouldn't that be a declaration of war against the US?
