How shall we understand "the pressures and overtures of the west/us had pushed the Russian state to its breaking point" claim then?

Not only is this wildly inaccurate — are we really to believe this neo liberal, white supremacist behemoth was teetering on the edge of collapse, any more so than it was in 1917 or 1991, & that invading a neighboring state would somehow save it from certain death? — for those who believe in anti state politics, it should be a GOOD thing. Only from the perspective of the Russian government & its patrons does this make any sense. That's why you got called Volodymyr by another user in this discussion. 

 notice you did not dispute any of the information in zerohedge or posted by me
