Who would ever want to conquer anyone in Europe? No one except Russia.

It means that this article is a big mish-mash written by someone who does not know the history and does not understand politics.

My apologies to Mr. Sandoval; it is not your fault that Medium recommended your article to me. On Medium, you have the right to write whatever you please.

For my $4.17 per month, I expect that Medium sends me recommendations to articles that are at least half as good as mine on the same subject. People offended by the boldness of my comment are welcome to check my writings.
