What happens when Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Latvia all get back together?

Is this situation imminent? Why are you saying this?

Mother Russia will be back!

Honestly don’t care. We have enough domestic issues to resolve.

Soviet 2: Bolshevik Boogaloo
The real answer is that Russia uses its energy resources to bend Europe over a barrel while it retakes Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Moldova, etc. Eventually, Russia will push one country too far, and a war will break out between East and West, but as long as the Russians don't expand into Poland or Finland, I doubt we see any real response from Europe other than finger waving and impotent sanctions.
The real wild card in all of this is China. It seems like the stage is being set for a massive world war with the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, The Philippines, the UAE, Egypt, and the E.U. on one side verses Russia, a bunch of former Soviet nations, The Taliban, Iran, Pakistan, Venezuela, Cuba, Hezbollah, Syria, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and most of the former Soviet nations of Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Turkey, as usual, will play the wild card. Much of Africa and the Caribbean will actually be siding with China as well due to China owning all of their infrastructure.
It really does feel like we are returning to a cold war type world where most of the nations are in one of two camps with only a few wild cards in the middle.

What I see is that a lot of countries that will end up opposed to China in the coming war have allowed Chinese influence to weaken them significantly. This does not mean that they will be Chinese allies, only that they will be FAR less effective and willing antagonists.
I see Australia as one of those nations that likely will try to remain on the sidelines as long as possible, but if the U.S. goes to war, Australia will begrudgingly join in as well, albeit with limited enthusiasm and capabilities.

Well, yeah. This is what they've been setting up since at least the Arab Spring.

They honestly should do it and block out the western nations from spreading their degeneracy.

You are assuming which side the US will be on? Now imagine Joe Biden is President?

The three Baltic states are NATO members, with NATO forces based in all three countries. Russia invading them would start a war.

There is nothing about Australian foreign/military policy over the past several years to indicate this. In fact, their moves to increase their naval forces and the recent defense pact with Japan indicate the exact opposite.
