If Ukraine can beat Russia with just our weapons and not our manpower, then there is no way in hell Russia could ever threaten Poland and beyond. It doesn't make any sense to think Russia will go into Poland based on how this war has progressed (there was never a reason to believe this either).
Western banks do not have their claws into Russia. That is the crux of the matter.
If only Putin would trade Russian resources with the dollar and use SWIFT we would be friends.

They don't want all of Europe. They just have to push their borders back out to geographically defensible positions, which means securing the Polish and Bessarabian Gaps and stationing static forces there. I think Putin's mistake was underestimating the extent to which NATO would back Ukraine. He probably thought that the real fight would be in Poland. Simply securing Ukraine does little to nothing for them strategically or economically.

Your president is proving you wrong. The United States will continue to exist though never again as originally intended.

Because invasion is what Russia always eventually enacts to get their way. I don't know if the Cia sponsored the coup or not, but I do know Ukrainians, especially West Ukrainians, despise Russia. I've always felt that if the Eastern provinces want to join Russia, let them go. The Crimea is also a lot more Russian than Ukrainian.

If it isn't as originally intended, then it isn't the same country no matter what you name it.

Yeah that was apparent when they burned 42 pro-Russia Ukrainians alive in Odesa in 2014.

Russia has a tremendous amount of natural resources. Those resources motivate so many.
