Russia Ukraine war, page-60940

yr believing yr own bull#### .. RF never had designs on the west, blah blah what a blatant lie.. RF displayed fairly dubious behaviour in it's own region and within certain sphere's of influence in the ME but that's about it.. RF was largely a business state.. using it's natural resources to dominate and coerce other nations.. not it's military.. it largely accepted the status quo of other large military states and acted accordingly

this is part of the problem.. the avalanche of unsubstantiated rubbish hurled at people so they 'convert' to some uniform narrow understanding or view

there is no bogeyman, this is civil war, territorial war.. nothing more, nothing less

it is very difficult to conduct, execute and sustain territorial warfare from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean or the other side of Europe.
