  1.  @canuckprogressive.3435  I didn't say that it's not existential for Ukraine I said it is for Russia Putin didn't intend on war but he definitely needed Crimea and the land bridge Crimea is the only access Russia has to warm waters (like black sea) and before 2014 the Russian black sea fleet was stationed in Crimea and for that reason However after ex president Viktor Yanukovich was ousted it was impossible for Putin to guarantee the Russian presence in Crimea peacefully as the Ukrainian government was moving towards EU and they were planning to terminate Sevastopol base contract

  4. Russia doesn't pay reparations They refused to pay in 1905 when they lost to Japan and had no economy or nukes They won't do it today with better economy and having the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world
