Comments by "Thomas Ridley" (@thomasridley8675) on "Why Russia wants to restore the Soviet borders" video.
@derbaeumaed8158 You do know that nobody wants to invade Russia ? It's all just propaganda. Going back 30 yrs isn't possible. No matter how much Putin wants it. The world has changed too much. It's not like many countries are asking to join the Russian alliance. And invading Ukraine could backfire if Putin's goal is to stop NATO expansion.

Well, both Russia and China are making the same mistake. Making your neighbors nervous. Countries that had sat on the fence are making their choice.

@derbaeumaed8158 There was serious talk at the time of them invading the Baltic states too maintain their control. They just didn't have the political will at the time. But, Russia is stronger than it was then. And control of the Black Sea is what made holding Ukraine so important. If Russia was going to invade. You would think that they would have already done it. But, no they are giving Ukraine more time to arm up. Raisng the potential cost of an invasion. Since they don't want another Afghanistan on their hands.

I would like too know who in hell they think wants to invade Russia or China in the first place ? That's not even a feasible option at this point. And if history is a guide. Taking a country and holding it are totally different games. NATO doesn't push countries into joining. But, Russia's actions sure will.
