sodomy
>>546215509To wreck UkraineIf the EU/NATO can't have it, nobody canThis maybe started as a war to force diplomacy but it has changed as fascist Ukraine has been instructed to fight to the very last man despite having no winning formula.
>>546215509Show to the entire world that Russia is to be feared and respected.
>>546215712Nah. People are too introverted for that here and you also get actually jailed, not whatever they do in your countries.
>>546215509Try to revive the USSR by annexing non-nuclear former satellite states
>>546216063Sounds boringBut to be honest I am shitposting before coffee and I thought that was a French flag
>>546216003Well they accomplished the opposite of that, so I'd call it a loss for them.
>>546215509Defeating Eurotrannies and GAYTO?
>>546216423You seem to be wallowing in propaganda. Ukraine has utterly lost and is being propped up by other nations now.
>>546215509At this point getting anything that can cover the cost they invested in; preferably Donbas since everything that has any value in Ukraine is underneath there, once war economy stalls they are neck deep in shit and they know it.
Originally to sell helicopters to China and India by showing off how stronk they are in war
something about NATO retreating to 1997.I guess that that's the current year in vova's mind.
>>546215509Putin is trying to use this war to propel Russia from the backline of nations to the front like the USSR once was. There is a perceived sense inside the Russian halls of power of Russia being relegated to just another middle tier power like Turkey or Germany or Japan by the post-Cold War geopolitical status quo. Russian traditions of geopolitical thinking are deeply steeped in Imperialist relationships with the world, so a system of international relations where Russian action is bound by laws and norms (especially when the US can seemingly act freely and break these norms with no consequences) is intolerable for multiple reasons. Of course, Russia doesnt have the raw economic or demographic power of the global superpowers, the US and China, but it absolutely can use its military to bully the smaller nations on its periphery to shatter these international norms and basically dare the international community to enforce its laws.There are also internal domestic reasons, Putin was increasingly being sidelined and expected to step down prior to the war, its clear the current generations of Russia dont really give a fuck about this elite project of a revanchist pseudo-Imperial Russia and just want to live comfortable lives like other Europeans, and Russian demographics are extraordinarily bad - absorbing millions of Belarusian and Ukrainians would help buy time to turn that around.There is also the angle that both the Krelim and the American realist school of thought are very interested in a divided, paralyzed Europe so they can isolate small states and extract concessions from them when it is useful - a unified confederated EU would permanently reduce Russia to a background actor, the EU has like 5 times the population and is 10 times wealthier. This war is very useful to exacerbate cracks in the EU, much like the Russian energy sales have been.
>>546215509Ukraine had shut down the water that goes to crimea, this was costing putin 1.5B a year transporting water to the area.He pushed down the donbass to get to crimea, but before he could connect the water the Ukies blew it up. Russia still has no water in crimea.Only thing they want now is to keep crimea connected through donbass so they can build anotehr canal.
>>546215509He (and most of the vatniks) want the USSR back and are willing to sacrifice their sons to make it happen. That's it, it's no more complicated than that.
>>546215509Trump.All of Mosow's effort is now concentrated on the White House.They promise Kushner and Wikoff a cut of the frozen Russian assests (over which they have no control),and in turn demand that Trump and his clan hand Ukraine over to Putin (which they can't).It is the old tactic of demanding impossible things for payment you can't provide.
Save face so they don't get swan laked.
>>546215509>Russia's strategic objectives in Ukrainejust some dvizhukha
>>546216930I consider myself above average in terms of vocabulary and now I have to look up revanchist. Just FYI if you want to be seen as a native speaker.
strategic self-deletion for the tsaaaaar is the goal
