What-Really-Does Vladimir Putin Want?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Three years and nine months into his full-scale war against Ukraine, what does Russian President Vladimir Putin want?

His goals haven’t changed much since his initial stealth invasion almost 12 years ago. He wants Ukraine to cease to exist as a sovereign and independent country and to return to being a vassal of the Kremlin.

He wants Ukraine to be prohibited from joining Western democratic alliances that have embraced other former Soviet republics and Eastern European states that were tethered to the Communist dictatorship in Moscow during the Cold War.

Putin wants a do-over on the end of the Soviet Union, a mostly peaceful realignment of Europe after the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed under the weight of a dysfunctional economic model and a superpower arms race it couldn’t afford to keep up. Unelected government planning for the price of every essential for life with no regard for the cost of production failed to provide for its 300 million citizens even with the world’s largest and most valuable natural resource deposits, from oil and gas to gold and diamonds.
