Just very, very run-of-the-mill old-school imperialism.
By n8 dogg Go To PostCan someone explain to me in layman’s terms what Putin’s endgame is here?At worse he is trying to reclaim the old capital of the soviet union and at best just wants to stop what is seen as NATO aggression.
By n8 dogg Go To PostCan someone explain to me in layman’s terms what Putin’s endgame is here?Who knows? The media keeps saying he wants to bring the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence but I doubt anyone in the media, least of all the western media has any what he’s thinking.
By Daz Go To PostYes, the best way to end perceived aggression with actual aggression.Is not just perceived NATO has been slowly encroaching on Russia's borders when it agreed that it wouldn't.
By Lunatic Go To PostAt worse he is trying to reclaim the old capital of the soviet union and at best just wants to stop what is seen as NATO aggression.Moscow was the USSR capital?
This must be some mega vanity play for attention because the sanctions that will follow are going to hurt. With or without a war.
Can't believe you've all missed the obvious reason: he's trying to look good for the Russian public. The election is 2 years ago and you know how fickle the Russian voters can be. If Putin backs down now there is a very real possibility that he'll end up with just 93% of the vote.
By n8 dogg Go To PostCan someone explain to me in layman’s terms what Putin’s endgame is here?At a very very high level?
A democratic and prosperous Ukraine, one that is leaning towards the West, would be a threat to Putin's Russia. Putin cannot survive the Russian people (and the oligarch class who would turn on him in a heartbeat) if the general Russian population witnessed Ukraine blossoming while Russia stagnated or regressed.
But of course it's a lot more nuanced than that. Putin is betting that he has accumulated enough USD in foreign reserve funds to survive the upcoming sanctions for a couple years.
China must be watching this very closely WRT its situation with Taiwan, I wonder where they truly stand with having one of their bordering countries just willy nilly annex more land as they see fit.

By n8 dogg Go To PostCan someone explain to me in layman’s terms what Putin’s endgame is here?I kinda feel like this is just a power check to see if the US and its allies are soft, but maybe I am looking at it wrong.

Yep, Putin has to use Qbittorrent to get Euphoria eps now.
By Laboured Go To PostSurprised Germany has nixxed Nordstream2 so quickly. Imagine Russia was expecting that sanction later in the game.The certification process of the pipeline has been paused.
There is still Nordstream1 (Russia-Germany), Yamal (Russia-Poland) and TransGas (Russia-Ukraine).
There is also talks of Qatar feeding Europe with Gas through a Qatar-Turkey pipeline.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A jury on Tuesday determined that the three white Georgia men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery violated a federal hate-crime statute by depriving Mr. Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, of his right to use a public street because of the color of his skin.Can't believe the US DoJ wasn't willing to go to trial on this one and was pushing hard for a plea, fucking hell.
