Second most powerful in Moscow 🤞😬🤞

Second most powerful in Putin's dreams

Would be wild if they took over Russia and Zelenskyy became the president of Russia.

Can countries still annex other countries like that these days?

Who would stop him?

Other countries. It would only be legal if everyone else considers it legal.

Aaaaaaaaand, back to my first post. Who would stop him?

The United Nations.

While everyone wants Russia to stop this war, it's hyperbolic to suggest everyone wants Russia annexed.

Since at least WWII russia has threatened war with every leader it's had. It's only just now being viewed as a terrorist state, but realistically we can trace that mindset back to Stalin. I wouldn't mind Finland, Japan, Ukraine, maybe a handfull of others carving russia up.

Wow, that would be an incredible amount of aggressive expansion! Coalition speed run any%.

... I should play less EU4 😁.

Second most powerful in all of their military bases.
