I am sitting on a small seat with coasters, in front of an Acer monitor. I like it because it is easy to kick out of my way. But it is still only a seat and it is not in the Kremlin, not in Moskva, and not in Ukraine. And, to be totally honest, my most epic concern is how this conflict has delayed the release of the sequel, for the video game, The Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild.
But yes, I am very interested in what is happening overseas, since my whole family has a strong military background. Also because there has been way too much suffering and bloodshed in Ukraine already.
But for once, I think the BBC may have a clue. There are neo-Nazi groups all over the USA but that does not mean that the USA is a Nazi State. Also, from what I have read, 4.5 million Ukrainians joined the Red Army to fight Nazi Germany.
Putin must have a reason for this military operation. It could even support his approval ratings on 9 May 2022. It will be interesting to see how that plays out on Red Square.
Putin claims Nazis but it looks more like a war against NATO and the EU-friendly government of Ukraine. But it may be even more than that.
If the operation succeeds, it could create a land-bridge from the Donbass region to Crimea, to Odessa and, finally, to Pridnestrovia. That would dramatically increase access to the Black Sea.
Well, what I do know is that Russia is much more than geopolitical struggles, logistics, and monetary gains. And I think that needs to be remembered, especially now.
