      Big fan of this joke.

      Yes but I was only counting their current system, though Putin certainly does appear like a continuation of the USSR except more christian and less friendly to women.

          The problem with that statement is it implies he would just stop the moment he obtained all those territories. People make the same claims about China’s expansions. It’s not true, they will wage war to the very end of the earth if not stopped.

            I don’t see how it implies that, as that empire or any others never stopped and said, “yep, that’s good enough”.
