Putin wants to make Russia like the USSR

If the invasion of Ukraine amounts to a military flop/fail which leads to the removal of Putin from power then we could see a Russia at peace with fellow Europa & may finally result in this :gnzbryw:

The EU is the proto-world government.

If Russia joins, they will add Turkey to counter balance.

What's then to stop from adding Iran later on... then China... world government installed.
 
If I'm not mistaken, the Russians have pretty much won already.
I heard the Russians have already captured Chernobyl which is located very close to Kiev & has a road directly leading to the Capital city.

Ukrainian forces are over stretched with the bulk stationed in the eastern regions; leaving the Belarus-Ukraine border difficult to defend.
 
It depends on how this Russia thing plays out. We might be at the start of Neo-Imperialism. If China takes Taiwan in the next two years and gets away with it, it is definitely the start of Neo-Imperialism.

Ethiopia will likely never be more cohesive than it was under Zenawi. Attempting to seize anything past Zeila will bring a negative return on their investment. Somalia proper as a whole is completely out of the question, but even with just half the country, it would significantly shift the internal demographics of Ethiopia against the favour of the current hegemons (Amhara and Amharized Ethiosemites). Now that Tigrayan apartheid has collapsed, Amhara and Oromos have lost their pressure valve. Throwing Somalis into the mix would be problematic.

I'm far more prone to believing that Kenya would successfully annex land despite the lack of overt ambitions.
 
It is an open secret that Putin laments the breakup of the Soviet Union and the subsequent emasculation of Russia. He seeks to reestablish the historical Russian sphere of influence in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.


The interventions in Kazakhstan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia/Azerbaijan, and Slavic Ukraine, Belarus demonstrate how he maintains quasi-control of countries which were previously dominated by Russia in the Soviet Union.

Nonetheless, in the long term, Russia's interests are best served by having a friendly relationship with the West as the main threat to its territorial integrity and hegemony in Asia is China. China wants to upend the Eurocentric (America and Russia included) status quo and reorient the geopolitical map towards itself. Xi's nationalistic rhetoric revolves around China regaining its status as the leading 'civilisation' in the World and righting the Historical wrongs inflicted on it by European powers in the 19th and 20th century. They might be playing nice with Russia now but if the opportunity were to ever present itself, I would not put it past China to make Russia subordinate to it and even try to reclaim territories lost during the Amur annexation.

Knowing how the Indho Yar move, our pawn interests are better served by a Euro dominated world.
 
Russia saved Syria from imminent collapse and a failed state. I dont think religion matters here both US and Russia dont care about civilians or international law.
The Russians kept a tyrant like Assad in power and made him more secure in his position than he ever was before the Arab Spring. So I wouldn't use the word "save" when it comes to Russians intervening in the Syrian civil war.

He has a point though how would America feel if it had nukes pointed at them from Cuba or Mexico? Would they not he severely threatened? The west would never allow it, so why double standard for Putin?

Cuba still has (reportedly) a Russian base.
 
Time for Faaraxs in Sweden and Finland to start packing
An invasion would be unexpected. It'd come outta nowhere. Thats the scary part. One morning you wake up and see fighter jets across your neighbourhood firing missiles. I didnt think ukraine would be invaded, but it happened.
