    If nobody sends troops and Trump gets his (and Putins way) the Russians will make their way to Romania, Bulgaria, Poland and the Baltics soon enough.

      Trump has 30+ years experience of doing business with Russia; even when it was quite unpopular and frowned upon.

      He was suspected of being a money launderer for Russian oligarchs, I think this was in the 90s if memory serves, and there was legal involvement and government investigation with few results.

      But those are EU nations, I disagree that this is their goal now or in near future. They would have to be fully supported by China and India first, they’re not berserk.

      I don’t think China will go for it, what they are doing now is working perfectly for their goals, they are not planning a military victory, but an economic one. All they have to do is be patient.

      In my opinion, that is.This is based on my admittedly limited knowledge of history and you could be right, I hope we never find out and that we are both wrong.
