It does seem to give them a very handy excuse to consolidate their cherished buffer zone.&lt;p&gt;EDIT: by &amp;quot;them&amp;quot; I&amp;#x27;m referring to the russian establishment, not the people in general.&lt;p&gt;EDIT2: I suspected this post was a bad idea. I &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; don&amp;#x27;t mean to accuse a whole nation of maliciousness. I just want a little guidance in the geopolitical wilderness of mirrors. This probably isn&amp;#x27;t the time to be asking.</text></comment>
