  1.  @rob6927  The whole "Maidan" thing started because Russia was manipulating policy making in Ukraine, like they are in Belarus. The people protested the rigged elections and policies of Yanokovytch, and the authorities used excessive force to try to put down the protests. Eventually hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets and forced Yanokovytch to flee. Interestingly enough, Yanokovytch fled to Russia, not Belarus or Turkey of some other country. In the turmoil that followed, as Girkin said, Russia invaded Crimea, then the Donbas. Those are facts. Putin has been trying to re-establish the Russian Empire since 2008, when Russians invaded Georgia (Russian troops moved into South Ossetia and Abkhazia over a day before the war started in Georgia, facts reported by RUSSIAN journals and newspapers, but never reported on in the West). The only way this could have been prevented would have been if Putin and his cronies didn't hold imperialistic ambitions, and had instead focused on improving their country's infrastructure and economy. You might want to read up on "Russkiy Mir" and Dugin's "Foundations of Geopolitics" to see what Russia's goals are.

  2. One problem with all the geopolitical commentary. If Russia was afraid of NATO and only interested in securing its borders to the Carpathians, why have they completely denuded their border with Finland of troops and equipment? Why do they keep talking about occupying Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Czechia, Slovakia, the Balkan and Baltic States? That sounds more like imperial ambitions and conquest rather than self protection to me. I think the folks doing this program should look at "Russkiy Mir" and Dugin's "Foundations of Geopolitics" to see what Russia's real goals are.
