isn't their next door neighbor Germany having an energy deficit crisis cuz they've been dependent on Russian gas for years? Maybe they could match up somehow
My (we're Russian) mom always said it was because true cowboys know that if you take them off a scorpion could crawl in, so better safe than sorry
Varoufakis (Marxist econ professor and also briefly the Greek finance minister) wrote a book about this called "the adults in the room". He's biased of course but I respect him a lot
might have something to do with being a (former) colonial empire and having a habit of looking down on other cultures. I'm Russian and we have the same problem
I don't recall that one having 6dof tho
some people are easily amused (by emoji spam). I love a good Donald Trump speech copypasta with all the hand gesture emojis
they did in fact use the data seized from his phone to find his house, then took his key and searched it

Yeah point 1 is why I support a peace deal along current lines, maybe with a dmz with UN peacekeepers or something idk. Ukraine is the one getting invaded, they need time to breathe far more than Russia does.
Even if you think Russia can't be trusted and will invade again a few years of peace is better than ceaseless war
Somehow missile flight time to St Petersburg (also happens to be where I'm from) weren't an existential threat that lead to an invasion back when Finland joined NATO. Maybe there's some other factor?
