#Putin’s invasion of #Ukraine 🇺🇦 has all to do with keeping power in Russia.

Free essay: Putin’s invasion was never about fighting neo-Nazis, protecting Russian-speakers or even geo-politics - it was always about killing democracy in Ukraine, so he can stay in power in Russia. Because a stable democracy next door would be Putin’s kryptonite.

And the suggestions of my clever readers in 2021 - the day after one coup attempt - fit well on 2026, after the coup in Venezuela:
General Trumpaddin, Trumpashenko, Trumpov, Trumpeev, Trumpski, Trumputin, Trumputini.
Feel free to add YOUR own suggestions...

Joining the EU has been a magic ticket to prosperity for former Russian satellite states. Bulgaria is now going vertical.
This will happen for Ukraine, and it's Putin's nightmare. Ukraine’s resources, size, brainpower and location assure it will make even Poland's success small on comparison.
