Russia wants rare earths in the two regions it’s declared, and has hinted at wanting to invade Moldova (Odesa being a longterm interest for Russia)… It also wants Sebastopol obviously for the naval port that doesn’t freeze over. But there’s Zero chance they could go up against Europe collectively, not without China at least, and they’re not as into the idea.
But I think you’re being hyperbolic if you think the US will collapse in such a short time fram (Rome took at least a century), or that WW3 is going to arrive in Europe anytime soon. We’re still multiple highly unlikely geopolitical maneuvers away from that.
It’s consolidation. At worst it’s preparation for China’s 2030 push (and that’s not a sure thing either, have to see what happens in the US in 2028 before we get to finding more out about that).
