- jcranmer 4y ago> what would the alternative reasons be and why would he not want to spell them out? He has spelled it out before--he believes that Ukrainians are really Russians, and therefore Ukraine should not exist as a separate country because why divide a nation in two.
- danbruc 4y agoI had this discussion a few days ago and I read the entire essay Putin wrote - if this is the best evidence for the reuniting a nation explanation, then I am not convinced at all. Compared to decades of opposition against NATO expansion this is laughable evidence. Go, read it [1] if you have not. [1] http://www.en.kremlin.ru/misc/66182 http://www.en.kremlin.ru/misc/66182

- effie 4y agoIs this a serious question? Politicians lie all the time! Why? To get support, or to minimize resistance. And Putin manipulates and lies very well.
