Peace in Ukraine

Anyone contemplating Peace in Ukraine must take into account Putin's plan for a Soviet Reunion..

Russian President Vladimir Putin has never hidden his nostalgia for the days of the Soviet Union. He worked as a spy at the KGB, lamented the end of communism, restored lyrics chosen by former Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin to the Russian national anthem, and marshaled Soviet-style military parades in Moscow. He's even restarted a national fitness program founded by Stalin.

The program, which began in the 1930s, would "pay homage to our national historical traditions," Putin said in March.

His most direct praise of the old Soviet Union came in 2005, when he shocked the west in a speech to the Russian people. He told them that the end of the USSR was essentially a mistake.

His Feb 2022 "Historical Russia" speech just before the invasion is more of the same.

There are hints Poland is next.
