I don’t understand what is going on with Russia and Ukraine besides that Russia plans to invade. Can’t find much info on why they actually want to do it. Seems suspicious Biden was involved with Ukraine. I only learned this year when everything happened in Mynmar that it’s a hub for CST and I believe why they started there? So maybe same thing happening with Ukraine. My speculation.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, a significant portion of their tech industry was in the former block states. Their space port was in one of the Stans, the one that starts with K and not even going to try and spell it, and their turbine winding shop for missiles and Aircraft engines was in Crimea. Expansion is not only a consolidation of their necessary industry, but it goes to the root of why the iron curtain was put in place to begin with. The Russians want their old territory back because going back to the mongols and the millions lost in the World Wars they want the buffer of land between their homeland and possible invaders (i.e. NATO). Its a safety mechanism in their eyes. They have had to recreate their space industry in the East because they've been barred from traditional space port. They also have to rebuild their turbine industry because the facility was destroyed in the Crimean conflict which has put their building and outfitting capability at a near stand still. Not to mention the loss of their drydocking ability in the North with Kuznetsov blocking one. You have to look at all different angles of the 5 powers to get a big picture
