      If you’re in a country that shares a border with Russia, or are Canadian or British and understand the end goal of this, you’ve been sick of it for a while.

          Look up Foundations of Geopolitics. It’s just one man’s book, but an astounding amount of what the Kremlin does now is in line with it.

          I probably should’ve mentioned USA with those two, but technically the US is one of Russia’s neighbors, and at least one Kremlin official has stated they do think the sale of Alaska is “illegal.” Right now it’d be idiotic to try and enforce that, but if Russia gets too powerful I do think they’d go for it.

          I don’t think it’d be great to be an EU resident in a Russia led world either, but Russia wants to lead with the EU in it’s sphere of influence; the express goal is to tank USA, Canada, and UK. That was the point of promoting Brexit and Trump (I don’t think they’ve dealt a huge blow to Canadian society like that yet.)

      Europe certainly is. I should note that while most of their campaigns happen over on Twitter & Facebook that if federated social media ever took off in a big way it would happen there too and it might actually be harder to control if it did.

      It sure would be nice if NATO and the EU would just steamroll them back into place.

      Wait until springtime though.
