Putin vision is Soviet Union 2.0, it has been pretty clear in the last year and even before. From the Kremlin: "Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself."

  Tell me you don't know what a Commonwealth of Independent States is, without telling me. Putin doesn't want a "new USSR". He wants a Commonwealth. If its good for Brits and Canucks and Aussies and Kiwi's, it'll work for the rest of the world too .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Independent_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Independent_St... Its the USA that doesn't want to see this commonwealth form and become economically viable as a trading partner with the EU, because not only would it indeed represent an economic bloc that would be overwhelming for the US' intelligence services to corrupt, and usurp .. as they are wont to do .. it'd also be a superpower that even China couldn't handle. Which is why the USA is doing everything it can (Ukraine coup) to ensure this unity never happens.

    Except we don't force countries to enter commonwealth, Putin is scared of old soviet union nations joining Europe. They're free to do so.

        For the same reasons the US invaded Iraq i guess, for their security as well as the security of the people in the Donbas since conflict sparked with the CIA led coup There is bad in both sides https://jacobin.com/2022/02/maidan-protests-neo-nazis-russia-nato-crimea https://jacobin.com/2022/02/maidan-protests-neo-nazis-russia... https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/attacks-schools-quadruple-conflict-hit-eastern-ukraine-unicef https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/attacks-schools-quadru...

    > Putin doesn't want a "new USSR". During the first months of the invasion when the Kremlin was searching for powerful symbolism, one of the symbols they tried to use was a Red Flag Granny: https://rg.ru/2022/04/12/babushka-s-krasnym-flagom-stala-simvolom-prorossijskoj-ukrainy.html https://rg.ru/2022/04/12/babushka-s-krasnym-flagom-stala-sim.... They even installed some hastily-made monuments to her, which had to be removed just weeks later after the Granny apologised to the Ukrainian media.

      And? The US used some heinous propaganda in its invasion of Iraq too - should we be holding Americans to the same standards? Media Propaganda is not nearly equivalent to official state policy.
