PUTIN ADMITS TO TERRITORIAL EXPANSION
Some have doubted my claims not only about the falsified Fall of the Soviet Union, but Putin’s plan to reconstitute that union by reclaiming “lost lands.” This week Yahoo.com covered Putin admitting to a plan to regain lost territory.
Russian President Vladimir Putin paid tribute to Tsar Peter the Great on the 350th anniversary of his birth on Thursday, claiming that modern Russia is once again on a historic quest “to return and fortify” its lost lands. Erasing any doubt about the true motivation of his invasion of neighboring Ukraine, Putin told an audience of technology students in Moscow that the lot of re-conquering Russia’s former territories fell to their generation. They blithely smiled throughout the speech, without a hint of a reaction to the imperial ambitions of their leader which have abruptly re-shaped their future.
