   I found farside.link/invidious/watch?v… very helpful in understanding why Putin would risk so much to get control over all or part of Ukraine.
   
   It was made just before the invasion and covers geographical, political and economic reasons to take at least the south of Ukraine, expanding the Donbas occupation and controlling the Dnieper river north of Crimea.

     Though I think he's been in the process of digesting the country since 2014, so the only thing new about this is the acceleration.

     @lnxw48a1 Well, I've been low key wondering why since 2014, but just not enough to study it further.
