Here's another short video I always share on this topic, with John McCain laying things out in 2014 after Russia seized Crimea. We're about halfway through his predictions, I'd say. ▶ this video
Or worse, rifling through the victim's pockets (mineral deal) and demanding a thank you. So far John McCain had this one right. Show Putin weakness at your peril. ▶ this video
Is there data in 2021 that would have led you to think Russia would attempt an outright invasion of Ukraine? Is it really so outlandish to think that Russian irredentism[0] will continue? Food for thought from 2014(!): ▶ this video [0]: link
> everyone who bought into that stupid ideology has been wrong about everything my entire lifetime In 2014, McCain absolutely nailed his prediction on Ukraine 2022. Did you? ▶ this video
▶ this video McCain on Putin in 2014. They want Eastern Ukraine and Crimea, and Moldova and the Baltics if they can get away with it. He is rebuilding the Russian Empire.
