I keep seeing this, and yet I have not ever had anyone explain to me why the fuck Russia would revive the conflict on a future date unless the west pulled some shit again.

Because their basic understanding of the war is that Russians are bloodthirsty subhumans that started the war entirely unprovoked because they just couldn't resist invading a country for fun/they need more land (you know, as the largest country in the world). It is a pretty commonly cited refrain that as soon as this war is over, Russia is going to invade some other european country.

They have absolutely zero understanding of why the war is happening to begin with. So they just assume Russia loves war just for the sake of it.
