one militant man on WMAL mention off the cuff "if you don't prevent russia they will take one peice at a time"
I HUGELY DIS-AGREE. It's Turkey (muslims) who are taking one small piece at a time and Kamala types in EU who are taking "one small piece at a time"
It can easily be argued Russia who's seeking to retain long agreed borders.
It also can easily be argued that "betrayals in oil payments" are what is behind the current conflict: mis-directions of oil and lack of payment. Also "blocked delivery" obstruction of delivery is also likely
EU is all about causing trouble in this because they are "customers" who really want more chinese imports not less.
When russia was weak in 80's 90's some of the border of russia split - Russia invaded any part that claimed they no longer belonged. Ukraine was one of those - but ukraine had weapons and (natural gas) and some NUCLEAR WEAPONS. I wouldn't say they are a texas of russia but they are important to russia.
