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.

Why do you pick out Canada and Britain?

Probably in the UK things like them murdering people with radioactive poison and just dumping it where civilians are affected, among other things

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.)
