Putin wants to rebuild the old empire of the Soviets. He may very well invade. His troops are strategically set up, in the East and Crimea and in the North with Belarus. And, just because a country has 45 million citizens, that isn't their army. Putin also has air power. I don't know what Putin's objective is right now. He does want to rebuild a stronger Russian power base. Yes, he has plenty of fire power to knock back Ukraine. Ukraine has already stated its defensive measures - go toe-to-toe for about a week and then move into the hills. Europe and the US can do very little, aside from sanctions and to be honest, I'm not sure all of NATO is onboard. Germany has been kowtowing to Putin recently. British military supplies flown to Ukraine had to fly around Germany. And Turkey has been playing footsie with Putin for quite a while.

Well. I got @GreenAtheist to blocked me so that's good.

Having 91 years and a few weeks, I will leave world war concerns to younger folk.
