Are you saying that former KGB Colonel Putin did not say that the biggest tragedy of the 20th century was the fall of the Soviet union and the loss of the vassal states? He talks constantly of the glory of the Russian empire. He wants Ukraine for its immense agricultural output and the power of adding its 15% world market share for wheat and 20% of sunflower oil to Russias 10%. That gives him the power and profits of energy and food manipulation. Putin knows the NATO democracies are not going to attack nuclear armed Russia and seize its territory. They can barely get together to defend themselves! They were hooked on his oil and gas. It’s naiive and laughable to think otherwise.
The bigger tragedy is the wedge that’s been driven between Russia and the West. Driven by China, who covets Russia’s vast natural resources and fears the powerful combination of Russia and Europe if it were to gravitate to the West. Democrats in America use Russia as a convenient foil and bogeyman while ignoring the existential threat posed by China and its totalitarian regime now ruled by its new Emperor, Xi.
