I just spent an hour and twenty minutes on You Tube, listening to Victor Davis Hansen via John Anderson (fromer deputy PM of Aust)...titled War in Ukraine. Which was a little misleading, he covered everything near and dear to our hearts for discussion here on the 'fire. VDH's clarity of thougfht and vision is a stunning journey into the world of common sense. He covered it all..journalism, covid, China, Ukraine, Russia, 2022 voter sentiment...well worth your time IMO.
Post a link(s).
Stupid ol baby boomer trogdolyte retard bastard can't figure it out after windows 7 went away. Sorry.
I struggle with Hanson's opening premise that Putin wants to reclaim the 100,000,000 people, territory, and infrastructure Russia lost with the fall of the Soviet Union.
As John Mearsheimer frequently points out there is no evidence for this and Putin has never stated this as his aim. To the contrary, Putin has stated the opposite, as in his infamous quote, "Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain.". The notion that Putin wants to reclaim former Soviet member states was invented by the US media narrative as part of the villainization of Putin and the Russian people toward deflecting fallout (annexation of Crimea) from the 2014 Western planned coup against Ukraine's duly elected President Yanukovych.
