The only passion in the first 15 minuets is when he is talking about ukraine and how much money and aid they send them. Hearing him say that alone made me think wow he really is trying to sell that ukraine is dependant to russia, which definitly would be the kind of messaging you'd want to spread if you were thinking of taking over with force one day.

He said 25 million Russians instantly were forced to live abroad when the soviet union was carved up, so I wouldn't put it past him to try to bring them all back under soviet control given the time to do it.

If what we're in right now is not world war 3 and some how we all keep on going on after the shooting stops (if it stops) then surely in the coming years after the real world war 3 will start when this new russian Z state decides to bring the other countries back under this new Zoviet umbrella.

The interview was 2017 so his personality there is quite relevant to his motives today IMO.

Ukraine's military has received additional aircraft as well parts for repairs to get damaged aircraft flying again, the Pentagon said.

I guess they're not quite so worried about Putin's desperate threats of escalation any longer.

Possibly very unpopular opinion:

Let Russia have the Donbas region.

They consider themselves Russian anyway and I don't think they'll ever become content with remaining in a country that wants to distance themselves from their beloved Russia, especially after this invasion where everything Russian will be spit on. Central and western Ukraine want to become European and Western and consider themselves as such, eastern Ukraine want to become Russian and consider themselves as such. It's how it's been for years.

It's an unusual situation there.

They don't give a shit about donbass tho. It's a convenient staging area to get the sea of Azov and control trade in the EU.

The Chinese, Turks, and Saudi should be also nuking and biologicalling RU for being disruptive little greedy shitheads.

And to punish Zelenskyy the jew for being more popular than Putin. Is the other motivation from mostly Putin.

Here's what I think. If Russia is able to say they 'won' and to go back home, and have the safety of us not invading them back.

Then they are going to without a doubt, build a legitimate Nazi army with black trench coats and big Z flags and big parades, full gilead style like this, and then will take the rest of the countries a few years after.
