Mr Wahlman, thank you for a comprehensive review of the long, long interview.
Apart from the NATO situation, but un-spoken matter of wealthy individual business interests in Ukraine was not addressed by President Putin. Whilst he has been regularly accused of corruption, the mechanism in Ukraine is now so big it has become a parallel economy.
Many citizens around the world have seen their political elite go weak at the knees for Ukraine, and yet there is no account of where the money has gone. This means there are many shadowy people who have a vested interest in keeping chaos running for as long as possible to boost their own 'wealth'.
The one cent former Prime Minister Boris Johnson demonstrates this very clearly.
This is not like China with Mexico or Canada, the fair comparison would be California.
If China first allies to Mexico, then helps California to secede and 25 years later as many English speakers left organised a coup by Mexican nationalist talking about English speaker oppression, voting laws that English is no longer an official language and the English communities don’t receive pensions anymore and are being shelled by artillery and bombed by gov planes. All the while China financed a naval base in California where there used to be a US navy base to control US access to the sea. Also, a Chinese foreign policy buff would have written a book saying that US separated from California would be severely diminished.
Fair point about the California analogy. I understand it very well. However, for this purpose I needed something more simplified and in this case describing the issue in terms of Mexico and/or Canada worked sufficiently well.

It was the defining status quo of two generations of people all over the globe, from 1949 to 1991
i was born in 1949 and so far.........i am still here.........lol
A generation being traditionally defined as little over 20 years. NATO was 42 years at the end of 1991.
