Of course they will. Putin wants to reconstruct the Soviet Union.
You should back up these kind of (often repeated) claims with something credible - as it stands, this is clearly just your opinion. Only western media/governments are making such claims for obvious reasons. Most of this theorising and speculation followed the creating of the "Union State" with Belarus in 1999.
Putin does not appear to be a communist, nor is he affiliated with the communist party, so it's a big leap to go from that, plus the the situation in Ukraine, to conclude with a supposed strategy of rebuilding the USSR...
The "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" was governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Putin is not attempting to rebuild that.
I would assume "reconstruct the Soviet Union" means expand Russia's borders until it holds the same geographic area as the USSR. Obviously he's not going to bring the Communists back into power. It's kind of silly that you would think anyone meant that.
As far as I understand, Kazakhstan is cooperating with Russia at the moment, so they have no reason to invade though. It's not like Kazakhstan could join the EU or something. Also, I doubt China would be happy having a war at their doorstep, and Russia cannot afford to make China unhappy. Moldova seems a more likely target (non-NATO, already has a breakaway Russia-aligned region with Russian troops in it), if they can get through Ukraine.

Exactly! Sorry if I didn't make myself quite clear.
I found out at my own expense: the communists were way better than the rothchilds.
I for one, I hope Putin does bring back the URSS with the communists in power.
