    thanks for the response

    This isn’t expansionist campaign, it is liberation of Donbas and defense of Crimea. That’s why greatrussian chauvinists don’t like Putin, they would want empire back and it isn’t what Putin do.

    sounds like plausible deniability to me tbh. like he really wants more land, but doesn’t want to be accused of wanting more land bc he wants to maintain his public image of moderated, highly skilled political strategist, going against the west’s bloodlust. so he took the opportunity of ukraine’s descent into autocracy to take a little more land while being lauded as a liberator at the same time

    i’m not looking into the conflict closely, though, so i might be wrong

    putin is a reactionary, neoliberal piece of shit, likely with ties to nazbols, who’s currently running an expansionist campaign from russia. fascism and imperialism are something else

    edit: genuinely unsure if the downvotes are coming from putinists mad that i talked shit about putin or from libs who think putin is turbo-hitler and what russia is doing is somehow even remotely as bad as what the west has been doing routinely for over a century
