russia seen eastern ukraine as the safety barrier to keep nato away from russia's borders.

Yeah, genius move:

I wonder if Putin didn't make that plan with you, since it's so genuinely stupid from the core!
The whole think about Ukraine and the buffer zone is juts stupid, if Nato would have really wanted to expand and threaten Russia the attack would have been Belarus!
60 years of cold war planning and not a single plan made something special out of Ukraine, it's Belarus that's the gateway to both Moscow and Berlin!

The thing is, China and India have a population growth that are not controlled, so border conflicts like this will be a ongoing problem, because they have to put those people somewhere and they also need more agricultural land to produce more food.

China's population is already decreasing,
India's fertility rate has plunged to below replacement level!New models show that India might start shrinking itself way earlier than 2065, models predicting 2050 now and they still ignore the impact of education in the poorest region where births are still high.

But overall, it's nice to see BRICS being so united! /shitload of sarcasm
