(#5269) putin deserves no favors

      The invasion of Ukraine by putin has cost Russia so much that they are now needing to recall troops from their borders to go to Ukraine and die. Well that is what will happen as Ukraine is moving forward against the front lines and Russia is moving backwards with death all around them. So putin in his magical thinking has decided that pouring more troops into the war front will somehow stop the Ukrainian counter offensive that is both strategic and precise. So what happens to the borders where putin takes troops from? Well those borders are less secure and surely less able to reinforce if attacked.
     Now why would any country neighboring Russia want to advance on the Russian border? Well for one thing Russia has taken from every border it has ever had and added to it's own empire for centuries. Much like what they are trying to do with Ukraine. Destroy Ukraine and absorb it's identity as a free people. The same goes for all the countries that border Russia. They have been conceding territory and acquiescing to Russian demands for far too long for them not to have some resentment still quietly simmering. But now with Russia trying to force Ukraine into a submission and doing poorly at it the neighboring countries to Russia may well decide that the time is right for them also to push back against putin and his horde of kremlin rats.
     So no one should be willing to help putin attack another neighboring country nor should they not entertain ideas of reclaiming their own stolen territory back from Russia. What the wagners showed a couple of weeks ago is that Russia is a paper tiger now. Incapable of defending itself from it's own mercenaries. Had it not been for the wagner leaders ill fated decision to halt his march on Moscow, we could well be still celebrating the end of putin. So the neighboring countries of Russia should carefully weigh the current weakness of Russia and finally put them in their place by taking back what is rightfully theirs.
