The whole point of the war with Ukraine and Russia is that Ukraine was part of the USSR. Do you think Russia is just gonna stop once Ukraine is under their control? Next, Ukraine is know for their grains exports. Which would help Russia a lot when comes to finances.

They are literally shooting themselves in the foot. (farmers)

Which goes back to, can't wait to hear Poland complain about Russia being at their doorstep and feeling threatened.

I think the "What?" was aimed at the statement that Poland was part of the USSR at one point.

They were a satellite state of the USSR during the cold war.

they were, in all but name.

The "what" was probably aimed at the statement "Can't wait to see Ukraine going down...". This statement is just ridiculous. If anything you should expect the agressor to go down

That's what we call "sarcasm."

He wasn't being serious. He doesn't want Ukraine to go down but actions like these are detrimental.
