#2  OTOH BIGNEWSNETWORK > [Radio Free Europe = RFE] US SAYS MORE RUSSIAN TANKS HAVE ENTERED UKRAINE.

As per #1, Darth Vlad has repeatedly said on the MSM-Net that he is NOT interested in conquering or taking back all of the Ukraine, + has repeatedly ruled out Russian-led unilateral war agz Ukraine, SO IMO THE QUESTION THEN IS HOW LARGE OF A POST-CRIMEA BUFFER ZONE DOES PUTINIST RUSSIA NEED OR REQUIRE BOTH TO ASSERT MAJOR INFLUENCE IN NATO-EU, KEEP GERMANY + TURKEY IN CHECK, + ESPEC TO DEFEND AGZ THE SOON-TO-BE-NUCLEAR ISLAMIST JIHAD?
