Why?
They have all the energy, they have ample land already, and they don’t have the manpower.
So why would they want to dominate Europe rather than just have them as a trade partner to sell their resource wealth to?
Discussion
You are approaching this from entirely wrong angle, that of an individual citizen, as opposed to that of a long tenured career politician. Your logic doesn't apply here. Andby the way, Nord Stream 2 is blown, so the Russian play at economic domination has ended.
No I’m not.
I’m asking you to articulate the incentives that support your claimed goal. I’m taking your argument back to first principles and asking you to justify your position.
That you deflected is poor form.
Now go ahead and tell me why Russia wants to dominate Europe when they don’t have the means to do so militarily but could benefit enormously from trading with them given the land and energy they already have under their control.
