It was not a coup that moved Crimea to Russia. It was Putin who did that. Was there involvement of the US? How so? Can you prove that statement or are you just repeating what you've heard?FOS » 26 Jan 2023, 2:48 am » wrote: ↑ dude...the 2014 coup was the USA toppling an elected president of ukraine who wanted to form closer ties to russia instead of europe.
putin did not cause that...but it would be dishonorable for him to not assist his allies
putin clearly does not was to recreate the soviet union. He is very close to the orthodox church...
I will clarify about the Soviet Union. I believe that Putin wants to restore the geographical boundaries that were present with the Soviet Union. I did not mean to say he wanted the return of communism. Russia has long used geography to protect itself. It was the seemingly endless stretches of plains in the winter time that defeated Napoleon and later Hitler. Now the Baltic states and Poland and Ukraine are aligned with the west. This means that an enemy would have a much easier time invading and conquering Russia. This, and this alone, is why Putin wants Ukraine back. If he succeeds he will turn his eyes north to Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Believe me. He will.
Putin's dreams are based on fear. This is never a healthy way to lead. Fear is weakness. Confidence is strength.
