Putin is aiming to fully invade Ukraine as I type this and allegedly explosions can already be heard in Moldova. Belarus might be helping Ukraine currently, this could be to save face, as they are also letting Russian soldiers through their land. I want to say that I have limited historical and geographical knowledge when it comes to Europe, so I may need correction here if necessary. And please forgive me if this seems ignorant as - most of this - is intuitive feelings.
I want to say before I continue that I hope most of you/your family are safe and if you are in any of the surrounding areas that I hope you have plans to leave and are safe as well.
Aside from the fact this is an obvious "attack of opportunity" (as Ukraine had not joined NATO prior to the invasion);
I (and others) have a theory that Putin may be aiming to recreate the USSR, looking at the list of countries and the information that I already know. I know NATO is involved because Putin does not like them and dislikes any countries attempting to join them (as stated here in Jack's thread) https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=68573 and this is probably (IN MY OPINION) because they are mostly comprised of countries that oppose Communism in some form or are trying to keep the peace (treaties) - or, plain and simple, they are a threat.
I just find it hard to believe that a former scheming KGB spy and president simply is trying to do this "because he can", right? And I don't know if it's as simple as trying to pit people against each other to die (although yes, I agree here as well). I feel like there's more to it. Though, does anyone else?
