> their goal is to restore the Soviet Union

More like, restore the buffer zone with defensible geographic barriers that the Soviet Union had.

Russia’s geography is terrible for defense it being positioned in the “horde lands” which allow attacking armies to drive right through. Current Russian borders require huge armies to defend in a nation that is running out of suitable army personnel due to a terminally low birth rate for decades, widespread heroin addiction, disease etc.

This move by Russia has long been expected, and it won’t stop at the Ukraine.

We’ll see whether NATO is worth the paperwork. The US is in a bipartisan starkly anti-interventionist mood of late and may not want to come to Europe’s aid which should defend itself.
