Applebaum Is Right:
Putin dreams of restoring the Russian Empire — and a propagandized population dreams right along with him.
This isn't about resources; Russia has plenty. It's about identity: Russia can't feel whole without Ukraine.
Ukraine's victory = death of that empire. Only real reform makes Russia a safe neighbor.
Until then, it threatens all of Europe.

@Free_Press@mstdn.social Let’s not get carried away, distracted by the intrigue of international politics that politicians play behind closed doors, as if they were uniquely qualified grandmasters of a 5-dimensional chess game of statecraft, while living large on the people’s dime, hiding behind security details that we pay for. https://blog.glue.earth/2024/03/solidarity-turn-up-heat-on-your-boss.html
