My understanding is that they want Ukraine to relinquish control over the ethnically Russian provinces of Ukraine. Those areas have historically been part of Russia and are still culturally Russian, but more importantly they form a land connection to Crimea, which is enormously strategically important to Russia.

Does that land have many natural resources?
reply
I don't know. If it did, I feel like that would have been part of the narrative.
reply
True. I just feel there is something else there. Something the light hasnt shined upon yet. I cant put my finger on it.
reply
There certainly might be, but I think the available explanations are sufficient for what's happened.

I dont know, I just cant shake the feeling that Putin wants something. Wasnt he ill for the longest time, I thought he would have keeled over by now.
reply
I never know what to believe with that sort of thing. When tensions were high with North Korea we started hearing about Kim Il Sung having health problems and being near death.

Was it during Trump or Biden when they said he was ill? Maybe another cover?
