Even if Russia takes Ukraine, their choices are to either roll into Poland and Romania and get their dicks slapped by NATO, or stay put in Ukraine and fight a NATO-funded insurgency for decades. They probably should have just stayed home.

Bless your heart. Russia took back their sovereign land in Crimea and nato didnt do squat, Russia has taken back their sovereign land in what was formerly known as eastern ukraine and nato hasnt done squat. Russia can take the rest of what was formerly known as ukraine and nato wont do squat.

They will however continue to work with allies to ensure the US is invaded by millions every year and kill over 100K with lethal drugs....and nato wont do...well you get the picture.

Keep your eye on that shiny object fella, your wallet is gone

Ukraine isn't part of NATO. If they try to expand into NATO borders they'll get crushed and fast. Even Putin knows this

First, NATO hasn't done squat because Ukraine isn't a NATO member and we're doing the best that we can to avoid a direct fight with Russia. I still believe that Russia's goal is to move into Poland and Romania. Ukraine itself doesn't gain Russia much. If you look at Russian military activity since the fall of the Soviet Union, they all center around securing geographic access points from which Russia has been invaded previously. Two of those access points are on the other side of Ukraine, but are in Poland and Romania. Second, Ukraine is no more sovereign Russian territory than the U.S. is sovereign British territory. They've been an independent country for over 30 years and want to remain that way.
