It is difficult to imagine anyone wanting to "conquer" Russia, aside from inevitable Chinese incursion as a means of acquiring more territory in which to house its large population - and in which to construct conveniently out-of-the-way concentration camps. But the idea that the West would have any interest whatsoever in territorial appropriation is hilarious. The West is far too busy tearing itself apart, dividing into ever-smaller units, as mindless "patriotism" and the even more mindless populism that empowers it leads people to see their future in ever-more-isolated inward-looking enclaves.
