My prediction is he will stop at the ex Soviet nations but still advance in to NATO areas. He wants the old territories back. What will the other NATO countries do?

And how long does that strategy work? We let Russia take Ukraine? Why not let them
gobble up every non-NATO country? Why not let China take Taiwan?

If we don’t stand up to aggression now, where does it end?

Both sides know that non NATO countries are fair game for Putin.

Putin also knows that NATO countries are off limits.

Both sides understand the unwritten rules of the game.

While sanctions don’t do nothing they will do very little with China’s 1 billion population to prop them up.

Unfortunately War is inevitable now in my opinion. It’s just a matter of time before he pushes in to NATO areas such as Poland etc.

That's your opinion but I am as certain as I can be that he won't go near a NATO country.

Russian stocks have plunged today, some like Gazprom are down a third. Bank shares have halved. Yields on government bonds are now north of 10%. The absolute way for the West to respond is to encircle the Russian economy and squeeze it till the pips squeak. Ban anyone worldwide from trading with them under threat of having sanctions imposed themselves. It will take a while but ultimately their already faltering economy can be crippled.

There was a good shout for the UK and nuclear disarmament not to long ago by some folk. This ends that discussion once and for all.

But we could have set a moral precedent and allowed insane dictators to be the only ones with them as they were no longer a threat :lol::lol:

Poland will fight back they will be backed by NATO if he attacks a nato nation then we are dragged in it.

Also we ensure troops are in nato areas and we let Russians know we are in Poland etc etc he won’t attack then.

A financial war, he then struggles to feed his army costs to up of living turning the Russians against him

War is hell and at the moment we are all in hell some of us are just dipping our toes in at the moment but it will come.

This.

He's already broken UN rules but I don't think he'll have the bottle to venture into NATO territory like.
 
Looking at some of the videos on Twitter it’s astounding to see how the country has went from a seemingly normal every day country operating like usual to a complete warzone overnight, it’s like something from a movie or game.
