    Yes. Exactly this. Russian interests trying to expand beyond their borders because they think they deserve it. Same as all the Axis Power countries. They think they “deserve” it.

    Fuck this mentality.

      Putin has been actively destabilizing neighboring countries for months by using propaganda and funding militant pockets. He’s tenderizing his meal in hopes Trump wins in the fall.

      He also continues to claim that eastern Poland belongs to Russia. I’m not convinced he has the balls to do anything about it, but taking Ukraine and leveraging support from Belarus would be the way to do it.
