Obviously? They're not able to, and even if they were, the EU economy and population is so much bigger, Russia would become the backwater of its own empire. Why would they want that? The end result would look a lot like the EU admitting Russia.

History shows absolute expansion over different cultures is a self constricting trap. Every now and then a fool tries with different tech and eventually the power bubble bursts and we all got to deal with the rubble.
Rome had an easy start because most of Europe wasn't fortified yet. Try taking India kingdom by kingdom.
Of course they don't want to take over Europe. They want their regions in Ukraine and renegotiations on security on whole of their western border and now just not promises of security based on goodwill, because all goodwill between parties have been destroyed because of this war. If they wanted European resources, goods and tech they would just much rather trade for them. It's much simpler than taking the burden of occupying and administering a fucking unruly European subcontinent! That would btw also get destroyed in the process if they ever tried to take it. Jesus, they don't even want to take over all of Ukraine for pretty much the same reasons.
They want the Baltics, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, all to be like Hungary, or preferably like Belarus - slave/puppet authoritarian regimes. Finland too, really, but I think that the Finns scare them.
Just a little bit of Europe, as a treat.
Fuck nation states and their divide and conquer bullshit. Solidarity amongst the working class of every country. Fuck these shitters in power, they do not represent us.
The fact this does even make news after stating clearly prove in what warmongering haze USA and Europe exist.
I expect it from Americans, the European have allowed themselves to be gaslight hard by the EU
Obviously.
They've failed in three years of trying to take half of a country with a smaller GDP than Greece and a long border.
Alright, so he wants to take all of Europe.
lol riiiiiight
