Well, mainly because Putin is rich and power hungry. He think he can get the USSR back together, one invasion at a time.
That isn’t new either. It’s the entire plot of the first Ghost Recon from 2001
Never seen a Zeihan meme in the wild before.
Man NonCredibleDiplomacy had a strong Zeihan phase going on for a while like a year back or so. Navigable rivers :D General Xi has killed the messenger so many times :D Doom and Gloom™ :D
Zeihan mister “linear extrapolation with no adaption over decades”. So i guess you are an expert in everything too.
ps. well it could be because Putin decided to do so and noone will ever really know what happened in that head or what information he was presented at the time
Putin did it because he’s an abusive dickwad who thinks it’s his god-given right to control Ukraine. That’s it. That’s the entire explanation.
People keep trying to rationalize his actions, come up with some more respectable reason, because there’s no way this much death and suffering could be happening because one guy is an entitled, controlling piece of shit, right?
But in reality, that’s how fascism always works. It’s always been how it works. Why’d the Nazis invade Europe? Because they were entitled, controlling pieces of shit. Why’d the Soviet Union refuse to let the countries they liberated after WWII go? Because they were entitled, controlling pieces of shit. Why does China want to annex Taiwan? Because Xi’s an entitled, controlling piece of shit.
