What did Putin hope to accomplish?

25 to 75 million of them did not survive death from their own leaders

OTOH, as someone once wrote "Drink is the curse of the Rus".
How many decisions have been taken then and now only because the principles were drunk?

Yes, at the hands of Zionists...yet they still survived and
persevered. This is also why they refused to go along with the
same entities disguised in modern times as "globalist financial interests" I give them the highest respect for that. Few other peoples have resisted to the same degree.

When I look at the decay of the US in just a century it proves why the Russians resist these entities so strongly, and support their President as well.

Plenty of strategists point out that expanding NATO and offering membership to countries adjacent to Russia is about as provocative as it gets.

Just look @ the history of Russia and its fear of being overrun. Strategic mistake to be sure.
