@patrickjanecke5894 500 years ago..? If you use that metric to determine present foreign policy motivations then you must conclude Britain, Spain and France considers its manifest destiny to be global imperialism. Within the last century or so Germany has sought to dominate Europe and USA has given itself the right to enact regime change around the world wherever it likes. Israel continues to believe it can occupy a country because their ancestors of thousands of years ago once ruled it. No, sorry, talking of 500 year destinies is a brush that paints a massively wide stripe, not just Russia. When we look at today, Putin instead recently ruled out any further Russian advances. Of course you are completely free to disbelieve that, but you are not free to maintain the opposite is other than an opinion of yours and not some kind of reality backed by very dodgy “evidence”. Instead of talking of 500 year destinies, why not rather try to set out the steps as to how any further Russian advances might take place. I reckon you’ll find that much more of a challenge than voicing an imaginative opinion.
