I'm saying that what Putin DOES is send resources to eradicate Ukraine as a nation. You're right that the excuses keep changing. It was never really about preventing NATO membership for him. It's about seizing and destroying.

  • Idk, if he completely absorbs Ukraine, that puts him right next door to a very angry NATO. I really don't think he wants that, he wants a buffer, and he wants Europe to get over what he's done in Ukraine. I think he now sees that ship has sailed, and he can't really back down due to local political pressure, so he has to keep going.
