It's wild that people outside of Russia still believe there was some strategic goal for Russia to defend itself here rather than personal goals for Putin.
No one was going to invade Russia.

- _kbh_ 4y ago> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Russia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Russia Let’s look at the most recent practical examples on this list. > War of Dagestan (1999), a repulsed Chechen invasion of Dagestan. Both Chechnya and Dagestan are internal areas in Russia so this is more of a civil war than anything else. And anything before that is before Russia got nukes. So I really don’t think anyone is gonna invade Russia now days.
