There is very little difference between Putin's fantasy of re-assembling the Soviet Union, and He's fantasy of invading Taiwan. In both cases, brutal, totalitarian maniacs have grand evil schemes that do not help the people of their country, and certainly not the people of the country to be attacked. The entire world should stand against these authoritarian regimes, and stand up for freedom and democracy in Ukraine and in Taiwan. While the world is literally melting and half the species are going extinct, these idiot dictators are trying to build empires. Someone should explain to them that they are living in the wrong century.
