RETHINKING - DECEMBER 18, 2021 - RUSSIAN OWNERSHIP OF EAST EUROPE

In an editorial column of WSJ titled "Vladimir Putin Names His Price" we can read the following opinion of the board of this paper:


"Moscow wants NATO to rule out eastward expansion and roll back military activity in a range of theaters, according to draft documents sent to the U.S. and allies this week. This would mean blocking Ukrainian accession to the alliance and effectively banning NATO forces from being stationed in member states like Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania."

My opinion: 

"The heavy military presence on the border of Ukraine and the aggressive messages to the new NAT0 members that in other times were satellite states of the Kremlin confirm that Russia wants to continue as the owner of East Europe despite the end of the Soviet Union. "

In summary, Russia only offers peace to Europe and the United States, if the West accepts the old Soviet ownership of the East of Europe. The Soviet Union fell, but it didn't fall according to the way of acting of Vladimir Putin.
