Russia Ukraine war, page-207163

all the trolls here were saying putin was absolutely FORCED to invade as a matter of security

they must be pissed now that becauseof the invasion Finland and Sweden joining NATO,
and making the Baltic a NATO lake ,
the ensuing loss of strategic value of the Suwalki gap
and the proximity of the Finnish border to St Petersburgh for nukes .....as well as the doubling of length of the NATO border ......much much more sttrategic loss than could be equalled by taking some of Ukraine .

Putin just helped erect fortress NATO ......at least when he dies he wil know that he has left a legacy .....isolation of rusisa from the west .
