Thousands of Ukrainian tech experts assisted China...
I'm realizing especially after reading the above article that Ukraine might be about how much Soviet technology was stolen from Russia by Ukrainian techs working on computers in China. Also, the Target ATM and Credit Card problem with 100 million ATM and Credit cards this last Christmas time was also likely Ukrainian Techs working in China as well. As I read about just how much Soviet and Russian technology was stolen from Russia between 1991 and now I see all this more and more clearly now.
The main reason Russia might want Ukraine back might be mainly that they need to stop this flow of Ukrainian techs into China.
I'm thinking Russia economically might be fighting now for it's very survival and that democracy and Capitalism just hasn't worked for Russia because of their history.
For capitalism to work well there has to be a certain amount of trust and acceptance of that system. China had a capitalistic system in place for 6000 years before Mao Tse Tung came to power after World War II. However, Russia never had a truly capitalsitic system in place because of Kings that ruled with an Iron fist and then Communist Dictators that also ruled with Iron Fists like Lenin, STalin, Kruschev and Breshnev, and the transitional Gorbachev that eventually led to Yeltsin and democracy for Russia.
However, democracy might work okay but capitalism hasn't worked for Russia especially after Putin came to power. He seems to want to go back to the old way Pyramid Communist Totalitarian system because I don't think Russia can survive China now because of all the changes in the world.
I think Putin is very afraid of what China has and will do to Russia in this century and is trying to position Russia to survive whatever comes.
So, I think Ukraine (for Russia) is less about the U.S. and Europe and more about China, and Russia surviving China this century and beyond.
