Putin has been at war with Ukraine for a couple of YEARS now.. and can’t seem to win..
What makes anyone believe that he would or could “march thru Europ”???
There no freaking way. He wanted NATO off his back and the usual old “..used to be OURS..” - territory dispute.. that’s all.
We need to quit playing “re-live World War II” games.
We are NOT saving the world from Hitler..
The only interests the USA has in the Ukraine are: Politicians’ personal financial interests there. THATS it.. and THAT is why they are so strong about our “support” there.

Putin knows NATO is a DEFENSIVE military alliance and poses no threat of taking any offensive action against Russia. The real reason he wants to maintain a strong hold on Ukraine is because if they move westward and start to have a more western European style democracy, an improved economy and a much better standard of living, then his people will look at that and think “we want some of that too”. (Notice how keen Russian troops were to steal toilets, washing machines and tumble-dryers etc when they rolled into Ukrainian civilian areas?)
