re: #180 BigPapa
If I’m going to make a prediction it’s that Pootie is making a big show only to *invade* Donbass to *save* the Russian speaking separatists and calling it good for what he’s been invested in since 2014.
A partition of Ukraine along the line of the Dnieper River - he gets that pro-Russian part of the country, a part of Ukraine that is heavily industrialized to boot. The loss of the Donetsk Basin would be a major blow to Ukraine’s economy.
