When Russia is done pillaging Ukraine, will they migrate West and pillage the rest of Europe?

It might have been the dream of Putin, but the move in Ukraine has awoken Europe, which I think is a major mistake by Putin.

He is trying to invade the Countries and rule them from Moscow in a vain imperial effort to create a New Soviet Union that will long-term maybe be able to keep Russia up with US, China, EU and the likes of India etc. But these Countries don't want that anymore, they want to be independent of regional bullies.

I suspect the EU & UK are now awake and alert to the rest threat of a military invasion in Eastern Europe, and they will quickly move to plug existing gaps. I no longer think it's probable for him to invade beyond Ukraine.

I've given up predicting what Putin will do next. At this point I don't believe he's acting rationally.

Thanks for MHO!

[Miristheiss]

Such as who?
Do you mean Latvia or Belarus?
If you mean further west then you have a World War and that means war with Germany, France, England and the United States...

That is over 6,000 total aircraft and roughly 1,250,000 soldiers... before any reserves are even called up, some of the most advanced missile systems in the world and the USA has the largest navy in the world including endless cruise missiles and additional aircraft from the navy.

Russia is powerful and they have the 3rd largest air force and one of the larger armies in the world but they aren't going to take out Western Europe.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Yes, they will. 100%
Next nation afther Ukraine can be > Baltic States, Poland, Romania and Rep. Moldova.
The WW3 is at our door and this is not a joke.
Depand on Ukraine how much it will rise the price for such a scenario.
Russia is a verry weak country in economy so it can't suport a long term war.
The nuclear power other way can change evrething we anticipate. He will bring destruction on Ukrain, Russia and international peace stability.
God may protect us.

[ChrisMaster69]

Nope, pretty much everything else is NATO.

It would be invading a country that can attack you on a very broad front with a lot of assets to ruin your day.

[DaveJord]

It unchecked sure they would like to... but its not going to happen. Russia is weak and this a desperate measure, because honestly its probably falling apart any way.

[Anonymous]

This is a rumour of course but there is a chance like Georgia, Putin is trying to get the band back together and Romania and Moldova could be key prospects if They can get Ukraine to join. Rumours of course.

[RolandCuthbert]

They won't make it out of Ukraine. They have overextended themselves already.

[jshm2]

Like the US did with Iraq and Afghanistan, you mean?

[driven159]

No they are going to be kicked out of the Ukraine with their tails between their legs and that will so everyone you don't invade someone's county they will fight you

[Dargil]

Putin will be tempted with Poland and Hungary but the price would be too high.

[ragooo8]

Probably any state on his boarder that may try to join nato

[anylolone]

No. It has zero interest to pillage Ukraine, it just wants what it can hold, which is Donbas.
Anything else and it's over extended.

[Anonymous]

Once Russia is done smoking Ukraine they might go after other small and defenseless countries that try to defy Putin, if they don't want that to happen they should just submit like good little dogs, or be bombed to a crisp.

[Twalli]

Not if they don't want World War III to be everyone vs Russia and China. They will lose.

[888theGreat]

He will hit baltic state , but it will take a year to replace all that he has lost

[OddBeMe]

Only if Putin has a deathwish. Economically.

[ragooo8]

Lol they are still buying his oil and gas. So much for sanctions lol

[OddBeMe]

@ragooo8 that’s not the entire economy dipshit.

[ragooo8]

It's 60% of their GDP. Has the lowest external debt too.
Can you give me an example of sanctions that can hurt Russia in any meaningful way?

[OddBeMe]

@ragooo8 ruble just hit 1 cent.

[ragooo8]

Meaning they charge Germany more for oil/gas? As well as other exports.
Still got that oil/gas and Russia is a very self sufficient country, with huge resources which is why Germany invaded in 1941.

[OddBeMe]

@ragooo8 do you think Russia is the only gas supplier? It’s certainly a good vendor for Germany. But why do you think AT&T doesn’t double your cellphone bill since they have all the power?

[ragooo8]

If they were other suppliers that could pipe oil/gas directly to Germany providing cheap energy to the German economy the German's and Europe would be doing it already, not the first time they tried to sanction Europe

[OddBeMe]

@ragooo8 seems like you’re rooting for Putin more so than trump.

[ragooo8]

Just cutting through the propaganda we are spoon fed

[OddBeMe]

@ragooo8 but you’re not. You’re rationalizing your beliefs.

[ragooo8]

Am I not. What's going on in Ukraine is very dirty and a lot of this has been created by the US intrests in Ukraine much like in Syria

[OddBeMe]

@ragooo8 so everyone is wrong except Putin?

[ragooo8]

We pushed the situation knowing what Putin would do.

[OddBeMe]

@ragooo8 you sound like a battered wife.

[ragooo8]

If the battered wife is getting battered because somebody manipulated the events

[OddBeMe]

@ragooo8 what’s been manipulated? What’s the truth about Ukraine, buddy?

[ragooo8]

Us corporate Greed... and Ukrainian people suffer

[OddBeMe]

@ragooo8 Russia: Putin’s Greed…. Ukrainians get invaded.

[ragooo8]

US greed.
