He may be right but if it is already in the newspapers, there is also a solution for who will be destructed first.
Let's hope that sanity will prevail and the Kremlin will steer Russia back into the global family of nations.

From an economic point of view this adventure does not make sense no mater how you cut it. Who needs a population of 46 million in a country with outmoded industry and on the brink of an economic collapse.

It is all bravado and stupidity loaded with fear for personal reasons, not Russian national interests.

Western Ukraine, mostly Galicia was a region that every power that controlled it within the last 1000 years made sure it will be a backwater region with little or not at all industrialization, to be exploited as an agricultural free for all region paying tribute to the controlling power.

In an afterthought, it may be that the "grand scheme" was actually to drive a wedge between the US and EU and by this subduing EU independence due to its dependence on energy supplies from Russia - but this is my own imagination and speculation.
