How big will Russia get?

[Razgovory]

Russia would only annex territory from countries that try to leave the CIS or aren't part of it.

I think Belarus and Kazakhstan might re-join in some form of union when their rulers croak.

In other countries - I think Putin is interested in having a safety buffer around Russia, primarily in Europe. And him being KGB, I think he's primarily interested in pushing friendly regimes/governments in those countries (which does the double duty of creating dissent within the EU and NATO), and - in countries he fears to lose - create a frozen conflict, like in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.

[Tonitrus]

Belarus isn't out of the question I think.

When Lukashenko dies, Putin will probably "save" them from successional chaos.  Though Putin has a couple years on him.

[Josquius]

Isn't having a independent Belarus useful to them?
They don't have to rule directly but have it on their side giving them an extra voice at international meetings.

The next four-plus years are gonna suck for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

I don't think Putin sees any use in downright annexing Belarus. It does its job as it is, and it would be more of a drag to their economy than anything else. Place looks like a hellhole even for Russian standards.

Are there many ethic Russians in these areas?  Ultimately, Russia needs to have more babies, more cannon fodder.
