You would think Russia's retreat would have been made in order but it's a total debacle.
As mentioned by Russia these troops would possibly be relocated to their Donbass region operations. Another option also has a slight possibility depending on the number of troops and Ukr defensive concentrations. That is to cut off some western borders of Ukraine with a blitz type of operation to stop the flow of arms to gain advantage in all areas if there is too little defense there. But this is unlikely considering the large western borders and retreating troops equipment logistical issues.
I specifically mentioned the Germans because they sent people over hundreds of years to create mini colonies inside Russia. There is a precedent. But you are correct, a lot of Western Europeans could populate Russia, especially if it were part of major investments to modernize Russian industries and the cost of living were lower for them, while they retained the benefits of EU citizenship.Yup. A Lebensraum! A vast land with relatively few people and full of resources!! And now a land with a sickly, cold, grey, ageing, and suffocating society. But why single out Germany? Napoleon also tried that. Hitler was not an aberration or alone. Antisemitism, racial superiority, perhaps even hatred of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity, as well as eying Russia's natural resources, were not limited to Germany. Hitler reflected a broader, perhaps subconscious, European mindset! Never forget how many Europeans willingly and actively collaborated with Hitler--that aspect of history has been being downplayed, but Jews still know them the best because they suffered the Christians for centuries.
The Brits only challenged the Germans because the Germans were an immediate and big threat. Americans saw an opportunity to rise to the very top, while also making some money along the way and joined but later. But race, resources and religious prejudices were all too prevalent in the West in general then--as perhaps even now.
BUT.... I still think this war was provoked and not needed. A post-Putin Russia would have fallen organically with Europe, especially from the west of the Urals. I blame the killing on the Neocons sitting in America always looking for some war to profit from.
Wow , what pointless destruction. Why would someone want to do something like that ?
That was Mariupol , before Putin succumb to his ego trip :
