If Russia gets Ukraine, it'll be 2-3 years of peace while Russia rebuilds and regroups it's forces before it's onto invading the next country. Probably Poland, Belarus, or Georgia. And he'll keep doing it again and again - waging war with the west until they win or the public decides that saving a few pennies on their taxes is more important than preventing totalitarianism from subsuming Europe again.
Belarus is mostly Russia anyway.
The usual approach is to fuck with the democratic system of a country, install a sympathetic puppet and then keep them there.
This is probably why Putin has such a beef with Ukraine. They spent a lot of money getting their puppet in there, before he was ousted.
Also to protect the Black Sea Fleet.
What’s the source where you’re getting this? Did Putin say that?
Because that's literally what happened when Putin annexed Crimea. The west let him keep the territory he stole as a concession and then he just invaded again a few years later.
Holy shit, do you people have the memory of a goldfish? First it's "Zelenskyy started the war" and now this... Embarrassing that you're this ignorant about what's going on in the world.
Whoa there. I was just looking for a source for the information. That doesn’t mean Putin good or Russia didn’t invade. If that’s an opinion though. Nothing from Putin’s military invasions indicates he would go into Europe.
Source for what? My prediction? It's me, bro. The source is me. That's how opinions work.
That’s fine. Can I ask how you arrived to that opinion?
No, you may not.
Just say inductive reasoning next time and avoid the question 🙋♂️
How about History?
Since it already bloody happened once and we don't see it stopping any time soon.
I’m tired. I linked Putin’s military invasion history in this chain. I get it. People are mad about Ukraine. Russia’s military is depleted, their economy struggling, but sure, they’ll roll into Poland by summer.
