RUSSIA - A NATION ON A MISSION...(ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 4/16/14)

Gorbachev dismantled the Russian Federation.  Putin is going to rebuild it.

There are 140 million people in Russia.  Putin knows population counts.  Atomic weapons aren't going to be used therefore you need, in Putin's view, a powerful armed forces.

Ukraine has over 40 million people. Controlling the Ukraine would increase Russia's population significantly.

China doesn't care.  India doesn't care.  Europe is impotent.  We have developed a similar proclivity.

Most Americans don't serve in the Armed Forces.  It wouldn't be too difficult to make the leap into believing that we are served by a mercenary hired Armed Forces.

Europe and other countries in close proximity to Russia will have increasing fear of Russian aggression.  Our middle eastern allies will have an increased tendency to look East.   published2014

The West didn't lend help to the Ukraines...the consequences should be clear.  Weakened influence around the entire globe.
