Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a lengthy speech today in which he explained what his plans are for not only parts of Ukraine, but he also expressed his ultimate goal to basically put the Soviet Union back together:
Russian Embassy, UK ~ President #Putin informed President @EmmanuelMacron and Federal Chancellor @OlafScholz of his intention to sign the decree to recognise #Donetsk and #Lugansk People’s Republics.
Jim Sciutto ~ Putin says it’s “madness” former Soviet republics were allowed to leave the USSR. Think of the many independent democratic nations beyond Ukraine that he’s referring to, including NATO allies Estonia Lithuania and Latvia.
Curtis Houck ~ Putin blaming "nationalists" for the USSR's collapse: "Every Soviet republic has its citizenship ... given to all....It is not the time ... to ... give definition of what citizenship is. What happened ... was caused by the mistakes ... by the leadership of the Communist Party."

Ostap Yarysh ~ Basically, Putin is now saying to the entire world that all former USSR territories historically belong to Russia.
Jamie Dupree ~ Putin's speech is harkening back to the supposed glory days of the USSR.
Jerry Dunleavy ~ Putin thinks one of the best things to happen in the 20th century — collapse of Soviet Union, fall of Berlin Wall, liberation of Eastern Europe from USSR grip, etc. — was the worst thing to happen. He has thought this since he witnessed it in the KGB, and much else flows from it.
Bonchie ~ Putin is announcing his intention to rebuild the USSR and Biden is completely AWOL.
Meanwhile, this tweet (and others) from @JoeBiden when Obama/Biden were running for re-election against Mitt Romney is aging worse by the second:
Joe Biden (United States government official) ~ Why Mitt Romney's Cold War mentality is out of date:

Biden, along with Obama and the DNC at the time were all mocking Romney at the time. They’re not laughing so hard now.
Bonchie ~ It only took a year for this genius to help bring about the rebirth of the Soviet Union.
During the presidential campaign in 2020, @JoeBiden also had this to say about who Putin fears most. This was two years ago today:
Joe Biden (United States government official) ~ Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be President. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee. If you’re wondering why — it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him.

Is that so, Joe?
jeebers ~ Seems like you being president is working out very well for him.
Yep. Putin was and is still thrilled that you somehow managed to connive your way into The White House.
Bradley ~ Aged like milk.
Stacey - Gen X - The Sleeper Generation ~ This is kinda laughable now ...
Yeah, it would be hilarious if this demented buffoon wasn't such a dangerous incompetent.
Mina Roufail ~ Interesting how he only made his move during your presidency. LOL, he was begging for you to be president.
And, he took the Crimea during the Soetoro/Biden administration in 2014.
Zachary Jeans ~ How it started ... How it’s going.

Kamala ala Bimbo says, "It is in the best interest of all, that there is a diplomatic end to this moment." Ah ha! Now I know why she was sent to Europe ... Kamala is gonna spread her legs for Putin and give him an STD from which he won't be able to recover.
