I said incentive. You seem to imply conquest of land is incentive. As a European, I always found the conceit in Europe astonishing. There's literally no incentive for Russia to expand. No resources, old population, every single nation is essentially insolvent. I love Europe but I find people there seem to have trouble seeing reality at tines. In the past 20 years, the only thing innovated is regulation, censorship and increased methods of taxation. I fail to see any uncentive. Russia doesn't even have enough population to fully exploit their vast resources and maybe NATO is irrelevant and trying to look for enemies to maintain relevance. Every time I go back, all I see is stagnation. Its sad but if Europeans started recognising their enemy is in Brussels, there might be less violence.
> What do you consider to be the incentive?
Because it's cheap enough for them to do so. Using salami technique they can simply take region by region and pick whichever historical interpretation they want for propaganda as nostr:nprofile1qqsdftfmdm407yl7pn9vsmfzjszf0x9w9cuh094d5klrr9je9etw9fcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsz9nhwden5te0dehhxarjv4kxjar9wvhx7un89up8r80y points out. And Nato either won't exist anymore or no one will trigger Article 5 for small countries like Latvia at that point.

Well i left this a while. Still no incentive. I do hope europeans wake up. Inciting war with russia, attacking usa bond market while allowing countries to be torn down by invasion by so called immigrants. Its such sad blindness by the population and costing lives and livelihoods. Meh
