Russian propagandist Solovyov:
“We will not stop at Kyiv, Warsaw, Paris. We will stop when we feel secure.”
What is security for Russia? The destruction of NATO?
Russia has been living in “counteraction and struggle” with external “bad enemies” for a very long time. This is how the Russian government consolidates society and explains all the problems to it.
Therefore Solovyov is right - they will not stop.
Россия delenda est
I wish. There’s not going to be much delenda-ing of Russia thanks to nuclear weapons being a thing
Its predecessor collapsed because of various factors. It doesn’t have to be a special military operation.
That’s true, I was more going off the original phrase’s meaning: “Carthago delenda est” translates to “Carthage must be destroyed”, and I didn’t take a reference to it mean eg. an implosion like with the Soviet union but an active destruction by someone
I think it’ll be a bit of both. The USSR collapse was partly due to economic factors caused outside itself. Russia relies on exporting resources to support itself economically. Even China might see the advantage in the dissolution of the federation allowing it to enhance influence in regional republics in the East. Russia is not self-sufficient in many aspects and sanctions are gradually squeezing.
