Yes. But you’re not adding anything new to the discourse or that we haven’t heard before. The issue is, I can’t know if you’re being intentional about it, is that sophists will take your statement about Putin feeling threatened and run with it until the night turns blue and discount everything else (especially the agency of sovereign nations). It seems to be the sole focus of your thesis here anyway. So Putin feels threatened about economic alliances on his border nations. We get it, don’t worry. Wow, how insightful.
Wow, how insightful
I will point out that this precious ‘discourse’ you are referring to was in this case started by a talking goose.

You have given away plenty of signs that you have very little experience of digesting real world theses. Maybe leave this one to those who are more well read? You don’t have to go about grumpily stomping your bad faith takes over everything that confuses and upsets you…
