Russia could go to the Ukranian government and “negotiate” a “land bridge”. However, they don’t recognize the current Ukranian government. That leaves a hostile takeover.
When they invade, what should be our response?
Keep drilling and leave Afghanistan, while increasing military procurement. Tell the rest of NATO they better be doing the same as they are expected to carry their own load this time.
Maybe a little finger wagging as a precursor.
Read post 39; a bridge bridge would be far easier.
