Of course, they don't have the coal, rare metals, uranium, and prestige as Target Ukraine.
I think NATO should greet Ukraine once they win this war. Russia cannot beat Ukraine alone, as we're seeing here. They're sure not gonna get punchy once Ukraine has Article 5 in its pocket.
All it would take is one miscalculation and the world is at war. Putin's little green men was supposed to be covert back in 2014. You don't think he'd do it again?
After this debacle in Ukraine, no, I don’t think Putin would try again. He never imagined the West would support Ukraine to the extent it has, and he knows Russia hasn’t got a hope in hell of defeating NATO.
