Spot on.

Remember this quote?
"NATO, despite all our protests and concerns, continued to steadily expand. The war machine is moving and, I repeat, it is coming close to our borders"

Ukraine is more of a spiritual battle for Russia.  Ukrainians were once the most trusted of the Soviet satellite countries.  They were trusted to operate nuclear weapons and were Russia's shield from the West.  Instead, what happened?  It's like how a mob boss turns against the disloyal.  I think this is why Russian propagandists label Ukraine as an "existential threat".

Remember when Putin made the creepy "lie down" threat?  I can't find the exact quote right now, but it referred to a really nasty story involving a dead woman?  It gave a lot of insight into exactly how much political capital Putin was pouring into the Special Operation.[/quote]
