I thought this was a very insightful video. Anders is often able to discern stark simple truths and their implications without falling into the trap of common misconceptions.
The prediction about what Russia will do on January 20th seems very likely to me.
Anders was one of the very few analysts that predicted Russia was going to invade in the months/weeks before their actual invasion.
That’s what he’s saying, that they don’t need or even particularly want the territory, as long as they can make Ukraine be weak, afraid and doing their bidding.
I was pointing out the contradiction in the title.
“What Russia wants from Ukraine is not territory”
Yes, it is. It’s always comes back to land. Land is THE thing that every country wants. They’re not making more of it, and everything derives from land.
Did you even watch the video?
I agree with the video, It’s all about control not land
I agree with you, it’s all about control … of land.
