"What does Putin actually want?"
Could it be that "FP’s team of reporters and experts" are actually deaf, blind and fucking stupid? Russia's entire government, despite Langley's attempt to fragment the response to the US meddling on the borders in Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan and the deployment of troops and assets around the borders, throughout the former Warsaw Pact buffer states and former Soviet republics, has been the saying the same thing - back the fuck off.
If Russia and/or China - or even the EU - were to deploy military resources in Canada and/or Mexico, would you ask "What does Biden's teleprompter actually want"? This doesn't even take into consideration the US response to the suggestion that Russia might place some military resources - at the invitation of the host countries, BTW, without the need for a coup - in Cuba and/or Venezuela (and, presumably, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Honduras and wherever else a legitimate indigenous government feels the need or desire).
None asked "What does Biden want?" - they heard this:
"National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters on Thursday. 'If Russia were to move in that direction, we would deal with it decisively.'”
You people are toying with a world war with an all-too-possible nuclear finale. You do know what happened to the German war propagandists at Nuremburg, don't you? What will be the fate of those who incite the holocaust of WW III at the hands of survivors? That of Julius Streicher, of Hans Fritzsche, or of Otto Dietrich?
Perhaps some arrogant fools accustomed to life-long impunity are willing to roll the dice, but those of us who can read and write and look beyond your propaganda to the actual world for our information, we are sitting around hoping our civilization, such as it is, doesn't crap out as a consequence of your stupidity.
SHAME!
