Ooc, Why do you think Russia invaded?

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Easy: they think they are a superpower and that they can use their military to keep independent, neighbouring countries aligned with them politically in order to protect their geopolitical interests. They are not and they can't.

And when you day "aligned geopoliticaly" what's that exactly?

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 0 points 2 years ago

It means that government in a given country will side with Russia on international scene in order to protect their interests. Isn't that obvious? Like Hungary is politically aligned with Russia but Germany isn't.
