And the Russians aren't stupid (at least this iteration of Russians). If they get a significant portion of their military tied down in the West, they open up their Eastern frontier (resource rich Siberia) to invasion by the Chicoms, who would like nothing better.
In that scenario, you have a third world nation (Russia) with a population of 140,000,000 defending a country that spans 8 time zones, with minimal infrastructure to move men and materiel in the Eastern most third, against a nation of something like 1.3 billion people.
What claptrap.
1. The US is not sending to troops to do battle in Ukraine.
2. It’s Russia who is threatening to invade Ukraine.
3. ...justifying why Poland, Hungary and the Baltic nations insisted on joining NATO.
4. In summary, this article is claptrap.
