Yes. Soon it'll be Russia everywhere. And you'll be a slave and in prison. You'll be clearning Putin's shoes from dawn to dawn, looking into his eyes from bottom up. I'll be creating videos of you, uploading them onto Youtube on daily basis. Aren't you ok with this? It sounds awesome to me.

What? Did you write this article? I can't tell if you're kidding and agreeing with me or seriously mad and being sarcastic.

Putin's not going to stop with Ukraine. His expressed ideology is to conquer Europe. It's effectively manifest destiny for Russia, but all of Europe instead of the western US.

Kraut does a good job of covering this in his video, but it is kind of long. The point is, you don't have to take it from me.

I don't see why he would stop with Europe either. There are plenty of Middle Eastern countries that are close by that he can conquer too. Not to mention if Trump is reelected, the US is likely to pull out of NATO and become Russia's biggest ally.

It's incredibly important for Russia to be defeated in Ukraine. The Ukrainians are going to be treated like second class citizens under Russia, or simply killed. And Russia is going to run out of non-NATO members to invade and all of us are going to be fighting this war next.

If you need evidence that Russia doesn't treat minorities well, take a look at this article.

Russia is well known for sending minorities to the meat grinder first.
