Russian invasion of Ukraine

[City Hobgoblin]

The threat to Russian existence makes absolutely no sense. It would be virtually impossible to conquer Russia: militarily or culturally. It’s too big. It’s an absurd notion.

It's that massive border. A deep-seated fear ingrained in the psyche of the old goats running the country.

Invading is different from conquering though.

The long gun is a sweet science.

Beautiful to see.

It makes perfect sense for Putin to portray it as such.

Of course it does, my point is aimed at the Russian people who are so readily swept along by this absurd rhetoric when logic dictates that’s it’s clearly implausible. Imagine the undertaking of occupying a country like Russia against a hostile population. It was hard enough in Iraq and Afghanistan. It would be virtually impossible in Russia.

Anyone applying any common sense to the landscape can surely see this. The Russian people’s irrationality and paranoia around this is preposterous. No one is invading or conquering Russia. It’s a comical thing to believe.
