@jhansen @farbel Yeah I don't think they're invading for petrol; one theory is that they are invading to prevent Ukraine from becoming an prosperous neighbor, an example of what Russia could obviously be if they didn't have a kleptocracy. If you're Putin and willing to sacrifice your entire populace for your own wealth, you can't have them looking over the border at that now can you.
@ech @jhansen And once they have Ukraine, who will be their new, even more prosperous neighbor and next on the list?
