Putin wants everything
Why does Russia need more land?
Monday's talks about nothing in Istanbul will once again help the Russian dictator to drag out and continue his bloody war in Ukraine. After all, it is quite expected that after them, the President of the United States of America Donald Trump will declare that he saw that Putin is ready for negotiations. But we must listen carefully to what they want in Moscow.
Why does Russia need more land? After all, it is already the largest country in the world by area? But despite this, the Russian Federation constantly wants more and more. Russia wants everything, everything that it can take by force. This has become the main goal of those who have settled in the Kremlin and intend to subject the entire world to their control.
The colonial project of the "Russian world" that Moscow is trying to impose on neighboring countries is a fabricated propaganda nonsense. However, its implementation, the use of military force in Ukraine and an attempt to forcibly change the existing geopolitical world reality, may have the opposite effect for the Kremlin.
When the declining Russian Federation disintegrates and turns into a few dozen more backward states, they will be led by warlords who will be drawn into a fierce internal struggle among themselves for resources and will dispute the borders of new territories independent of Moscow by force. This does not even take into account the factor of China, which during the collapse of the former Russian Putin's empire will not give up the lands in the Far East and Siberia, which it has long considered its own. And the question is how to prevent Beijing from taking too much.
Putin has already lost his chances to preserve Russia, now he will fight exclusively to preserve his power. A situation is emerging in which his regime will exist until centrifugal forces tear the Russian Federation to pieces. And he won't be able to prevent it anymore.
Putin's plan for the reconstruction of "Great Russia" includes not only Ukraine, but also Moldova, Georgia, the three Baltic states - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as Poland. Finland and Norway are also not exempt from this aggressive

menu. Who knows what will happen next? Putin must be stopped in Ukraine. And that can only be done by force.
Putin is a virtuoso KGB terrorist from the last century, acting recklessly but irresponsibly. He blocked Russia’s entry into the 21st century by investing all his strength in destroying Ukrainian statehood. Focusing on war, not on producing decent cars or developing modern digital technologies.
The Russian Federation is now a stubborn enclave, with all its cruel and savage Neanderthal solutions to fictional external problems that never existed. Leaving it in its current form would mean continuing its bloody imperialist revanchist agony, which is inhuman not only for Ukraine and Europe, but for all of humanity. Therefore, the only correct solution now would be to dismantle this pseudo-federation, a failed state that will never be able to reform or transform into something more decent.
Putin, hopelessly stuck in the 1960s, cannot be convinced or reshaped. He tries to pretend to be James Bond, forgetting that geopolitics is not a movie or a computer game. Which can be overplayed, having spare lives in reserve. After all, the Russian president does not have and will never have a spare life.
The paradox of the situation is that Putin wants to leave behind a historical legacy in the form of a restored USSR. But if he continues to fight so fiercely for the restoration of the Soviet Union, then his historical legacy will ultimately be the inevitable collapse of the Russian Federation. And it is precisely with such an acquisition that he can enter history.
But for now, Moscow convinces itself that the unipolar world order has been destroyed, and the United States is no longer a leader on the international stage. The Kremlin believes that the Eurasian century has begun, where the new world leaders will be Russia, China, Iran and India.
These are dangerous games for Russia, but Putin thinks that by becoming a vassal of Xi Jinping, he is simultaneously bringing the Russian Federation closer to the status of a superpower. And there is no one to explain to him that willing Chinese lackeys will never be able to become world leaders. After all, Beijing is still playing this game with Moscow, waiting for that decisive moment for itself when Russia becomes so weak that it can take it with its bare hands. And the Chinese know how to wait.
At the same time, there is no hope that peace with Russia can be achieved through negotiations. It is quite clear that Putin is interested in nothing less than the complete subjugation of Ukraine, but he does not have the means to achieve this goal. The situation is such that he cannot rest, nor retreat. Yes, Putin could end the war immediately by sending his army back to Russia, but he won't. Because then his "throne" will start to shake, and that's what he fears the most.
In this sense, it is positive for Ukraine that Russia, which was once the biggest military threat to the United States of America and the North Atlantic Alliance, is now engaged in self-destruction. And it does it in a way that no NATO could ever do. With each month and year of the war in Ukraine, Russia becomes both militarily and economically weaker. And in fact, no one now knows for sure how weakened Russia is. It may be on the verge of collapse right now.
With each passing day, Putin is getting closer to being eliminated, liquidated, or at least recognized by his entourage as what he really is: an adventurous person who does not understand and does not want to see what is really going on around the Russian Federation. And reckless copying of Stalinist methods and standards in the 21st century will lead the godfather of the Kremlin to the collapse of his regime.
Due to the efforts of Putin's clique, Russia has been pushed back decades and, perhaps, the Russian Federation will be transformed from a regional into a completely secondary state in the post-Soviet space. It is sad that this is happening at the cost of so many Ukrainian lives. But Ukraine is fighting for a future in which the whole of Europe will be safer, and its sovereignty and admission to the European Union are guaranteed.
Ahead of the second meeting in Istanbul, it is quite possible to predict that it, like the previous one, will be inconclusive. Putin is not interested in stopping the war. After all, he had wasted so many resources and killed so many of his soldiers to do so.
From the very beginning, his negotiating position was irrational. He claimed to be at war with the Western world, restoring "historical justice". It's a shame that the president's understanding of history
