Since launching a surprise attack last week, Moscow has been unable to push Ukrainian troops back after they advanced up to 30km into Russian territory and are now in control of about 28 settlements.
Since at least WWII russia has threatened war with every leader it’s had. It’s only just now being viewed as a terrorist state, but realistically we can trace that mindset back to Stalin. I wouldn’t mind Finland, Japan, Ukraine, maybe a handfull of others carving russia up.
Can countries still annex other countries like that these days?
Who would stop him?
Other countries. It would only be legal if everyone else considers it legal.
Aaaaaaaaand, back to my first post. Who would stop him?
The United Nations.
While everyone wants Russia to stop this war, it’s hyperbolic to suggest everyone wants Russia annexed.
