If you let the vice-chairman of the security council present this map, we can all agree Russia has an expansionist view with regard to Ukraine. So please ignore all people saying Russia wants peace etc.

@ErikJonker @geopolitics It's fascinating to see what has happened to this person. He used to be more or less reasonable, but of course totally controlled by Putin especially after his presidential stint.

@kallekn @geopolitics ..he is not very sane, but he is allowed to tell this on a large stage, that can't be done without Putin allowing it.

@ErikJonker @geopolitics I didn't notice that before, but he extended Poland into Ukraine. Can somebody ask him about Königsberg? And what about Belarus? Did he get approval to not include it to Russia?

@ErikJonker @geopolitics

Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet empire.

He is not going to succeed, but expansionist wars are useful distractions from domestic issues.

Russia is a poor petrostate being robbed blind by its oligarchs.

Just ask the Tories and the Republicans,...wars are used to thwart funding social policies.

@ErikJonker @geopolitics on other forums I've seen Romanians being rather surprised about Romania's "new" borders.

Apparently they include Vinnytsia.

According to them Vinnytsia has historically never been part of Romania, has never been claimed by Romania or its predecessors, and there aren't even many speakers of Romanian living there.

So, the Romanians are scratching their heads in confusion.

(Disclaimer: I'm just parroting hear-say here, I have no clue of Romanian politics or history)

@danielaKay @chebra Those seem to refer to Chernivtsi and southern Bessarabia - which make some sense as targets of Romanian Irredentism as they were Romanian between WWI and WWII. Vinnytsia is just weird.

@pfadintegral Oh I wouldn't expect any logic behind these things. They could just be expecting a yacht from Putin, so they will say whatever. Why do they believe Putin will have any yachts to spare is again weird.
