The Russian’s are behaving very strangely. Is their behavior an attempt to save face, or do they actually think Poland and the United States will just roll over? Strange.

“The Russian’s are behaving very strangely. Is their behavior an attempt to save face, or do they actually think Poland and the United States will just roll over? Strange.”

I wonder what Putin’s pre-invasion assessment of probable US reaction would be.

I would think, rhetoric notwithstanding, it has to be obvious to them Poland is lost, but Ukraine, and specifically Crimea, are another matter entirely. All it takes is one election in Ukraine and a pro-russian party could grab power.
