If I was your neighboring countries, I would absolutely not let you “care for yourselves”. That puts my border at risk. Nothing is in a vacuum.

- jnsaff2 3y agoThe russian border was last challenged by hitler and before that by napoleon. Anything after that is just been being pissy about everything. > Beginning with the reign of Ivan the Terrible in the sixteenth century, Russia managed to expand at an average rate of 50 square miles per day for hundreds of years, eventually covering one-sixth of the earth’s landmass. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukraine/2016-04-18/russias-perpetual-geopolitics https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukraine/2016-04-18/r...
