Russia always pushed the narrative to Russian-speaking people that they were going to "save" ethnic Russians in Donbas and Crimea from the "Nazi" Ukrainian oppression. Nothing new here in Russian government worldview department...
Yeah, but what the comment is explaining that the general's subjective viewpoint, who he might be referring to given his subjective context. OP's response is simply wrong and is acussing the original commenter for no reason.
So, what the general is saying is that, for TheWestTM, Ukraine is only a stepping stone in the manipulation and instigation scheme against TheMotherlandTM. He believes that if they completely invade Ukraine, then other eastern countries will start actively participating "If we are talking about Eastern Europe, which we will have to".
For context, I completely disagree with what he is saying, but stating that he admits that Ukraine is the stepping stone to invade Europe is factually incorrect, he is NOT saying that.
