you know I love mother russia but I think they kinda have enough land mass and resources already , this could be Putins first big mistake
They have the land but they don't have enough people.
They need to replace all those losses from their high attrition warfare doctrine, famines by misadventure, purges and mass genocides.
The US created this whole fiasco.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, we promised we wouldn't expand NATO eastward towards Russia.
Now, NATO is right on Russia's borders.
NATO was created to defend western Europe against the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore.
So why does NATO still exist? What enemy is NATO expanding towards?
Russia is rightfully wary of NATO expansion, especially in light of the way western governments and western media routinely portray Russia as an imminent threat.
Russia has been invaded by everyone from Genghis Khan to Napoleon Bonaparte to Adolph Hitler. It's natural that they would want friendly, or at least neutral, buffer states between them and any potential invader.
Remember that TPTB (more like "were") gaslit the entire world for two years over the CV and broke down the psyche of every susceptible person out there...
Then when it was clear that there was nothing to fear, they had to move along to a new fear tactic.
Also remember that Russia basically invented propaganda. That's not to hate on Russia, it's whatever...
But they are the absolute global masters of propaganda, keep that in mind.
Remember that these 'elite' will pretend to be enemies on the public stage, but they are going to bed together every night.
They are counting on their newest global show to enslave you via fear.
The more you pay attention, the more subconsciously brainwashed you will be.
Sit out this bullshit, turn your attention away, and create something good and longlasting in your own life.
Don't waste this time feeding your energy into their goals... feed your own goals.
some nice piano music with hostages ,lol
