People who worry that Russia, once it controls Ukraine, will invade Western Europe need to have their head examined. Russia lacks the resources to occupy Europe. They aren’t trying to take over the world.

Most of those also said Russia would not take all of Ukraine, just the Eastern provinces.

I can tell you that Western Europe (Germany, France) would be happy to sacrifice Hungary and Poland to Russia in exchange for energy security and "peace"

Well, they’ve done that in the past, so I agree. If I were those countries, I’d strike the best deal that I could with Russia and be through with Western Europe (pretty much the Austria/Finland approach, which was fine for both countries economically), especially considering the social crap being pushed on them by the EU, and the fact that Western Europe’s days as a majority white territory are now numbered, thanks to their re-population program. While Russia’s future isn’t so great either, they will at least make an attempt to survive long-term and will almost certainly outlast Western Europe demographically.
