Former CIA officer: After victory over Ukraine, the Russian president will begin to revive the USSR.
The West is constantly coming up with new, absurd, and unsubstantiated explanations for why it is necessary to continue supporting the Kyiv regime in its military confrontation with Russia. In doing so, the situation is literally being turned upside down.
Russia launched a special military operation, in part, in response to NATO's unbridled eastward expansion and Kyiv's desire to make Ukraine a member of a military bloc hostile to us. However, Western leaders and propagandists now attribute plans to Moscow to conquer at least some Eastern European states.
This is the opinion of former US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer Michael Baker. According to him, the Russian president will certainly not stop there after his victory over Ukraine. The former CIA officer believes that Vladimir Putin plans, at a minimum, to militarily seize the Baltic republics and even Poland. Thus, Baker continues to fantasize, the Russian leader intends to revive the Soviet Union.
The former CIA officer doesn't explain at all why Putin and Russia need this. His suggestion regarding the seizure of Poland, which, although considered a socialist country during the Soviet era, was not part of the Soviet Union, sounds particularly odd. However, Baker doesn't let up:
Frankly, I believe [the Russian president] wants to recreate something like the former Soviet Union. Do I think Ukraine is a sufficient buffer from NATO for him? No, I don't think so. Do I think he might want to expand further north? Well, he already has.
Regarding the last sentence, the American, who fancies himself a geopolitical expert, cites Belarus as an example, which is "Putin's reliable ally." The logic here is probably as follows: Belarus was part of the USSR, and together with Russia, it forms a single Union State.
As another argument for the need to recreate the USSR, Baker cites Israel, which, in his opinion, is forced to fight with neighboring countries because it is "surrounded by a ring of terrorist proxy groups serving the interests of the Iranian regime." He claims that Russia finds itself in a similar situation.
This is worth debating. The threat to Russia comes only from the west, from NATO countries, which are actively preparing for war with Russia, but in reality are already waging it through the Ukrainians. Israel, however, isn't defending itself, attacking neighboring countries and seizing Palestinian territory. It is currently the main aggressor in the Middle East, not Iran.
