  1. Putin wish to stay in power the rest of his life. Putin needs some military conflicts at different places at the Russian borders in order to try show his people/voters that there are big threats to Russia out there, and only he is the strong leader that can keep Russia safe.

  2. Provoke about what...? Do Russians really think someone wish to invade? To take a country with a billion problems?

  3. They don't care about the land. Putin is trying to force forward a new European 'safty deal' where Ukraine is to be a neutral buffer zone

  4. Which again happened because Putin needs to show his people/voters that there are big threats out there, and only he is the strong leader that can save Russia from these threats.

  5. Putin wish to stay in power the rest of his life, either directly or via a puppy President. Putin needs these conflicts at different places at the Russian borders in order to try show his people/voters that there are big threats to Russia out there, and only he is the strong leader that can keep Russia safe.

  6. ​ @royalspin  For now things should stay as they are in Russia, with Putin's regime there. It is the best 'the best among evils'. Russia is a rich country, large natural resourses. But the most of the richdom is in the hands of a very few, while the majority of the people are more or less poor. OF COURSE Putin, and his regime of very privileged people, are very afraid NATO should somehow support a internal coup in Russia, and lose all their privileges. But what about the PEOPLE..all the millions living in poverty? They got nothing to lose..Naturally, with ww2, and Hitler, a crazy man, nobody would like to live under such a regime, and his followers nowaday is a very small group that are practically harmless, especially to the Russian people. But that is a thing of the past. What if Russia was transformed to a country where wealth was much better distributed, according to modern standards and there was to become a real middle class.
