The Russian government seems to share that same view on sticking together.
Nobody is denying that .
Some do, some don’t. Certainly, Ukrainians hate Russia more now than ever before.
Not all. West Ukraine is the problem. And now they have pissed off the Poles.

Show the lie. Just passing on a made-up rumor on something that important is sloppy journalism.
The evil player here is Russia. Putin is bent on restoring the great soviet empire.
You say he is losing to the far weaker country Ukraine yet he is going to restore the empire. In your mind this makes sense
What do you fear most?”
"I fear that love is not enough "
That is not logical at all. I said Putin is trying to restore the former Soviet empire.
He is just failing miserably in that effort. Ukraine is a big country.
In terms of area, Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe after Russia
Its not logical agreed. Question is when did this information about empire come to you? Was it when putin was brushing his teeth or was it while he was in the lab making another batch of novichok??

Let’s see,
Restoration of empire is the endgame for Russia’s Vladimir Putin
Putin’s words speak for themselves: What he is aiming for in Ukraine is the restoration of Russia as an imperial power.
Many observers quickly picked up on one of Putin’s more provocative lines, in which he compared himself to Peter the Great, Russia’s modernizing tsar and the founder of St. Petersburg – Putin’s own birthplace – who came to power in the late 17th century
“Peter the Great waged the Great Northern War for 21 years,” a relaxed and apparently self-satisfied Putin said. “On the face of it, he was at war with Sweden taking something away from it… He was not taking away anything, he was returning. This is how it was.”

Actually his ambitions are greater than that. He wants to restore the former Russian Empire.
What does Putin think of the Russian empire?
Putin has made no secret of his desire to revive Russian influence throughout his country’s former imperial domains, and has publicly lamented the fall of the USSR as the “disintegration of historical Russia under the name of the Soviet Union.”Apr 25, 2023
Putin’s dreams of a new Russian Empire are unraveling in Ukrain
Over the past year, Russian President Vladimir Putin has openly compared his invasion of Ukraine to eighteenth century Russian Czar Peter the Great’s imperial conquests, and has boasted of “returning” historically Russian lands. However, his dreams of a new Russian Empire are now in danger of unraveling as military setbacks in Ukraine undermine Moscow’s position throughout the entire former USSR.
The invasion of Ukraine has clearly not gone according to plan. Putin anticipated a short and victorious war that would extinguish Ukrainian statehood and force the country decisively back into the Russian orbit. Instead, his army has lost tens of thousands of soldiers and vast amounts of equipment while struggling to achieve its military objectives. With the war now in its fifteenth month, Russia is struggling to advance in Ukraine and finds itself subject to unprecedented international sanctions that pose a grave threat to the country’s long-term development.
Is this a skit ?? Saying no empire means empire in the alice in wonderland world

I know this is hard to take, but sometimes politicians say one thing then do the opposite. It’s called lying.

I don’t think that is Putin’s goal. He wants the Ukraine and he wants to force it to be Russian, when it is not.
BTW, MSNBC is not propaganda. FOX is. Rachel is a very smart woman and hardly talking about a “Russia Gate” or is spreading Russian Phobia. IMHO, the stuff you share is an attempt to accept Putin’s rule and genocide of Ukrainians.
That’s because there is no such thing as “the deep state”. Where are you getting this stuff? Wherever you’re getting it, the source is pure rubbish and not reliable. As for Ukrainians bombing civilian zones… Russia has done far more of bombing civilian zones than the Ukraine. Putin has had hospitals and schools bombed, killing women in labour, as well as children. Russians are more guilty of this than the Ukrainians.
I do have a degree in psychology, but I still don’t understand humans, especially those who fall for propaganda and continue to spread it.
There is no such thing as the “deep state”.
Nah, just shorten it and say to TimandTech, “Well, bless your heart!”
Nah, you trust Faux News (AKA Fox News) and other like sources. Faux News has even admitted they lied to viewers.
And sometimes they tell the truth
How do we know W4u is not lying about this?

Dont think so. But as the war drags on , the weaker ukraine becomes. The jackals on her border such as hungary romania and poland are in position to redraw borders when the critical moment arrives .
"There is no such thing as the “deep state”.
Thats very presumptuous!! You havent even asked him to define deep state to make such closed statement.

What a sticky topic.
No illusions to royalty and empire to be seen here, he’s just a regular guy who likes riding horse with his shirt off:
He used to be head of the KGB (law enforcement) during the Soviet epoch. What do you think!
What tim overlooks is that the so called deep state , is the State. In the US , the depth lies in the practice of democratic principles.
It was Trump who , during his stint as president, established a deep state with the intent of installing himself as supreme ruler for life.
