PUTIN OUT TO CREATE EMPIRE

-

WHO does Putin think he is? Putin condemns any humanitari­an or military assistance to Ukraine, threatenin­g nations offering military aid, training or hardware with his arsenal of nuclear weapons.

Ukraine’s wish to join NATO was the trigger for him to invade this sovereign nation.

Putin wants to put a buffer between Russia and any NATO nation.

To dictate the terms for peacelovin­g nations willing to prepare themselves for any perceived Russian threat in this conflict, displays how irrational he is. Sweden and Finland both have a pact with the UK for support in any attack.

Finland has made urgent steps to join NATO.

Finland’s 1300km common border with Russia, is like a red rag to the bull or rather the bear in this case. Finland is neutral.

Putin wishes to reinstate the

Soviet Union in eastern Europe. He determines Finland’s NATO status compromise­s Russia’s security.

To view any stance by sovereign nations to join the NATO alliance, is interprete­d by Putin as a threat. He has ignored the fact that these sovereign nations see Russia’s warning as bluff.

He is a threat to peace in the region.

He has no power over independen­t nations’ decisions, which he interprets as antiRussia­n.

Putin is an ambitious bully who uses lies, intimidati­on and threats to control his own people and maintain power over his neighbours.

It’s win at all cost.

Victory, is a figment of his imaginatio­n – his goal is to see the Soviet Union rise like a phoenix once again.

In 2022, he has isolated Russia by tight control of informatio­n, from interactin­g with sovereign nations contributi­ng peacefully for the good of the world.

Rogue nations like North

Korea, China and Russia, are isolating themselves and their people for control.

World peace must be in the hands of those who learn to work in unity.
