    Yeah that sounds like a really bad idea

    Russia couldn’t take a tiny sliver from Ukraine without sacrificing it’s economy, and close to a million and a half casualties.

    Now it wants to take on Europe as well?

      Putin thinks he has occupied 4x as much land as the entirety of Ukraine. He’s delusional enough to think UA war will be over shortly and therefore he needs to get ready for the next stage.

      Alternatively Mango Mussolini has promised him assistance

      The people in charge didn’t die and didn’t lose a dime, so why not? On the other side NATO members have been half assing every single decision and barely committing to anything tangible. It would genuinely not surprise me if a EU/NATO member got properly attacked and the union still just shrugged and debated on how to respond for another 5 years.
