I think you might have some translation issues.
While he wants RUSSIA to be restored to it's old glory, I can promise you he DOES NOT want all of the old countries.

But I need the source. I need to hear this, and have my Russian Friends confirm the translations.

I have been handed a few videos of Putin saying something, and it was UTTER BS. He was recorded elsewhere, saying something else/boring... And someone put English sub-titles that were not even close to what he was saying.

So, it it's out there, PLEASE send it to me.
I would love to be corrected.
But he's really been in power in Russia a REALLY long time. He's moving kind of slow. He will be 90 before he gets to country number 2 at this point...

Putin does not hate America. He actually wants to see America as a great Country again. He has emulated and copied many (good) parts of America. Traditional America, He does not want anything to do with this woke degeneration and devolution, America's rejection of all spiritual values. Christmas is about anything BUT Christ in America.

2024 is the "Year of the Family" in Russia The traditional family. A "family" is not woke-defined as a street gang or conglomeration of cross-dressers and tradition-haters.

A woman in Russia who has 3 children will now be awarded $40,000.

Traditional Christian values are honored in Russia, whereas, when I went to the local high school basketball game here in my Midwest state, I see a montage to Freddy Kreuger, the mass murderer, plastered on the hallway wall. When I asked what happened to Christmas, the principal told me, "We didn't have time for Christmas."

Me and my sister played a game like that when we were 5. At 8 we were too old for it

Why would Russia want to take over and be responsible for a bunch of woke welfare states?

Basically, here is what is going on and has been going on for 20 years, in Ukraine.

The USA (Deep State) is the meddling "3rd party."

I uploaded this to a website, 'cuz I can't find it on Google search. Google and its stepchild, Youtube, worked with the Obama White House starting in 2015 to "shape the narrative" on Ukraine (censoring all the Ukr. atrocities done with Deep State approval.) Here are some actual words from VVP at 1:20 into the film, a presser after Maidan ("my don'). not some fractured fairy tale from the Deep State..Obama appears about 2:

Hate spotting a glitch I can't fix later on.
My above ending with "take of" was supposed to be "take care of."
Guess I was just too excited over strutting about and crowing.
Dang, all in a sudden I think I'd like to get me dino some Church's Fried Chicken.

Do you have the actual words where he says he wants to "take over' all former territories of the USSR"? I'm just asking because 99% of the articles in the Western media about Putin and Russia, and Ukraine, further filtered by the anti-Russian Google and Youtube search algorithms, are twisted. perverted. altered or outright dishonest. .

Putin.

What was also interesting was that Russia and Germany both participated in the WW II invasion of Norway. Norway was holding its own against one, but two invaders was too much and they were forced to surrender. That was in the days of the Ribbentropf treaty when Stalin and Hitler were both effectively Axis powers and before Hitler made the disastrous attempt to invade Russia before finishing off the Brits.

LOL, "Russo-phobia" (good one, fairbo) IMHO, is the results of a propaganda campaign invented by the left that hates Russia for kicking communism into the ash can of Russian history.

democrat traitors vs someone that loves America

you are clearly out of touch with reality

no sale
Russia is a hollow shell of the Soviet Union

right now defense is stronger than offense due to the Javelin type top attack missile

is that you biden or mitch mcconell?

Based on current events it seems to me Russia still doesn't have the treasure or might to "control all that territory". Eastern Ukraine is overwhelmingly Russian as is Crimea and holding on to them is becoming a chore even if the people of the area would rather be with Russia. Invading Europe would be an enormous undertaking beyond Russia's capability.

ussr didnt have an alternative. they were bankrupt and couldn't control all that territory

Maybe. However, I'm not so sure I buy into that because if it were true the Soviet Union never would have broken up. It may have converted into a more non-communist (Stalinist) state, but it would still be here with Ukraine remaining within its borders. This war would not be happening.

Enough of the Russo-phobia. Russia did not influence the 2016 election. Trump did not pee on a bed in a Moscow hotel. Russia did not start the conflict in Ukraine, it was started in the 2000's by the US State Department with "color revolutions" in Yugoslavia, Georgia and Ukraine.

Russia did not blow up its own $20 Billion pipeline, the greatest (by dollar damage) terrorist act in world history. Russia did not attack its own Kerch Bridge.the greatest (by length) bridge in Europe. Russia did not yesterday blow up its own airliner returning Ukrainian POW.s

If there's any bad guy here it's NATO-HATO. If your house was surrounded by threatening neighbors, all ignoring your neighborly greetings, all with menacing pit bulls, all armed with shotguns, tanks bazookas, warplanes, nukes, missiles pointed at your house, everything aimed at your house, all refusing to talk to you, all calling you a criminal, all hating your guts and wanting to get their hands on your valuable land and your jewelry, would you be concerned?

The proof is in the pudding, we just can wait and see what he DOES. If he doesn't continue invasions, then the point is moot.

Its in Putin's own writings and speeches. Plus the interview with Oliver Stone he talked about it

Source?

Putin has said many times he wants to restore Russia to former greatness with the taking over of all territories USSR once held. Why don't we just listen to what he says and believe it????

No question, Rusia wants to take over Europe country by country, and will do so whenever it CAN

I remember when Russia first Invaded Ukraine.
We were treated to ASSUMPTIONS like:
1) Putin is going to re-assemble the Empire
2) Putin will NOT stop at Ukraine
3) Putin is eyeing Europe next.

Fast forward until today. My take:
1) Russia secured the regions they were concerned with
2) Russia destroyed the Dam that was blocking fresh water from getting to Crimea
3) Russia now has direct land access to Crimea

And they seem to be holding pretty steady, waiting for the peace talks, in which I SAY "Give them the land the took". But make them build 1:1 new infrastructure in their newly acquired land AND the other side of Ukraine as their price.

Stop the killing, stop the war. The costs of rebuilding, if done right, will be a benefit to Ukraine and to that new area of Russia. It will cost far more than people realize, and that will siphon off more of their war chest (like it did ours).

But Russia 100% decimated Ukraine, despite the help of the west. Those who think they had a "hard go of it", PLEASE see how Israel is handling Gaza... And ask yourself if PUTIN was EVER this brutal in this conflict? The answer is no. He laid off their infrastructure UNTIL we helped Ukraine hit their bridge.

You may not agree.
But the MEDIA was 100% wrong about Putin's goals and intentions. This was about securing Crimea, and 2 core regions that were overwhelmingly Russian, and were being punished by Ukraine to TRIGGER Putin into invading... (All wars are bankers wars)

That does not make any sense to the dino either.
Do you know what Nazi Germany invaded Norway and not Sweden?
If what I read is true, Norway had one big airfield for all its war planes while Sweden had several spread across its country.
Being half-Swedish, that kinda makes me want to strut about and cry, "Cock-a-doddle-do!"
Gotta go. Just thought of something I want to take of.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! With the muslim invasion that we have read about in Sweden that would likely make it a lot easier for
Russia.
