I saw an interesting video trying to describe Russian geopolitical
thinking, and it made a lot of sense if you turn the map of europe 90
degrees clockwise, so Russia is at the bottom. All of their policies
have been around limiting the border exposure to western Europe, like
they're planning on rolling tanks through again.

The invasion of Ukraine, when looked at from that perspective, seems to
fit the theory. It's all about limiting border access to Russia and
creating buffers.
