Putin cannot afford a NATO member on it's border. It tolerates Turkey because...well....it's Turkey. Not much of a threat and it has it's own worries with radical Islam.

Ukraine is another story. Ranked in the top 5 for minerals, and food in the region,among other things, Ukraine is a treasure house the Russians need to bootstrap their economy. Watch as the 'sanctions' fail to rein in Putin. Western Europe is at the mercy of Russia to provide oil and gas for their economies since Biden literally destroyed our energy independence as a net exporter of oil and gas overnight, so they will stay out of it.

My biggest fear is Biden sending US troops in to show how tough he is, without UN sanction or assistance against a real world power, with real world nukes, who may not be afraid to use them.

I worry about that too. That stolen election will likely result in massive bloodshed worldwide.

Taiwan is likely the next shoe to drop.

Everyone involved in that stolen election, and most especially the gutless Republicans who failed to stand up in opposition to it, deserve to be running in fear of their lives if the public ever wakes up to what they have done.

Putin currently has five NATO members on his border - Norway, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Turkey.
