(Daily Beast) In the surreal world of Russian state television, Russia is about to prevail in its war against Ukraine, which is being presented as a battle against the United States and NATO. According to top Kremlin propagandists, its only a matter of time before the West admits its defeat and pays reparations to Moscow or risks a devastating nuclear strike.

Reciting the list of Russias future demands during Solovievs show, Matveychev became even more brazen: We should be thinking about reparations from the damage that was caused by the sanctions and the war itself, because that too costs money and we should get it back. The return of all Russian properties, those of the Russian empire, the Soviet Union and current Russia, which has been seized in the United States, and so on.
The host chimed in to ask: Are you including Alaska and Fort Ross?
Matveychev nodded: That was my next point.
As well as the Antarctic... We discovered it, so it belongs to us... Also, the return of all medals that have been unlawfully taken from our sportsmen during all Olympic games, as well as the extradition of [Grigory] Rodchenkov, along with the extradition of multiple other criminals well want. I think we should start voicing all of that, so they understand what will be on the table. You didnt want to talk to us about something small, like Ukraines neutrality, heres what you get. And thats not even all of it.

It's like someone should get a reward for robbing a bank.

(35,356 posts)It's a very PRC attitude. I keep expecting them to claim part of Vietnam and Mongolia, perhaps Korea.
It's their justification for all sorts of things. "Once mine, always mine."
If Ukraine wins--my definition is "forced to remove Russian forces from the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine, with reversion of the territory to rule of law under the Ukrainian Constitution"--then there's going to be a serious problem in Russia.
If Ukraine loses--which means ending the war with political concessions from Ukraine and Russia keeping or splitting off occupied territory--then Europe will seriously suffer. Perhaps not in my life time, but my kid's. (And many will say, "Hey, that's fine, I got mine."
