Believing Putin has any designs on trying take any NATO countries has to be one of the strangest TDS fever dreams there are. Let them have the part of Ukraine that wants to be part of Russia again instead of fighting another forever proxy war. We just committed another 4x to defending Ukraine’s borders than we committed to defending ours. And GTFOOH with the “want a stagnant population” straw man. How about a functional border like the fascists to the north?
Charles Lindbergh would approve this message.
We can stop Russia now, in Ukraine. Or we can watch them gobble up Ukraine, follow through almost immediately on Moldova using an identical set of pretexts there as they did with Ukraine (substituting Transnistria for the Donbas), and then have to deal with them when they come for Poland, Romania, and/or the Baltics.
