Hilariously, the main reason for occupying crimea has been made irrelevant by climate change. There's nothing behind russias war in ukraine except sunk cost at this point. Russia never needed the natural resources and they're not interested in the people. Invading ukraine does not and has not put NATO or the US further from their borders. The singular thing driving russian policy for decades or even centuries, an open port, is no longer operative. Russia invaded because of private interests, not the russian public or nations interests...and, if it even needs be said, not ukranian interests.
If we want to talk about empires, and the shittiness of empire, let's talk about that kind of empire. A private empire where the productivity and lives of many nations people are subjugated to the will of individuals safeguarding their personal bank accounts out in the ocean.
