Something really anachronistic about this war. Like if Genghis Khan showed up and demanded “give me all your horses” and then you’re like “dude I don’t have any horses” and he kills you

Its about Putin not coming to terms with the fact that soviets lost the cold war. And of course the breakaway regions would want to get closer to the west.

It's because NATO and the EU would fix Ukraine, which is pretty damn broken behind all the cute choir singers and Easter eggs. You can't let that happen to a border/buffer state as an autocrat. Brain drain, probable internal unrest, slide into irrelevance if not overthrow.
