It's an interesting take but I think it makes a common error of confusing the propaganda used to justify going to war with the actual reasons.
This is critical because the propaganda reasons are slaved to the real reasons and wont figure much if at all in peace talks.
Caspian report has a good video on the geographical and political imperatives behind the war: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MkrLUFAcjH0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MkrLUFAcjH0
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoWhile I agree with your point, it is still quite useful to understand the cultural and historical aspects that are constantly evoked, even by Putin himself who puts much emphasis on these points, and they are spread by the media. It's not so easy to see and understand them from outside.
