And if he continues on that path he will not stop at Ukraine.
I also read too much. Awful lot about WWII.
And it gets even scarier when you go back further than that too. Basically every war Russia was involved with in the Baltic and Black Sea areas for 650 years was about one thing: Access to ports. Now here's Putin's war starting with access to the Crimea and centered around a gas pipeline to western Europe... We learn nothing.
I think peacetimes in Europe come to a close, I really wish it wasn't so.
Same. I think about how my mum, born in 1946, grew up in an Air Force household expecting war at any time right up until 1989. And now she has to see her kids and grandkids face that future again.
For now, I'm just hoping Putin gets eaten by a bear. In front of cameras so nobody can get blamed for it.
