    Indeed, but historically this should panic America and Western Europe. Regardless at this point there isn't much we can do about it outside of arming volatile rebel groups. Obviously we're not going to declare war on Russia unless they invade Poland or something

      Technically there's little America can do either way. Declaration of war on Russia will kick start WW3, now that's something no one wants...But I don't think Russia will make a move on Poland anytime soon.

        Thankfully, I agree, but Russia has certainly gotten more aggressive as of late. Putin knows just how far he can take things without going too far so there's that. Realistically our biggest concern is a Cold War 2.0, if it hasn't already commenced

          Judging from the way he manipulated the situation so far, I'm not entirely sure what he has in mind. If he's smart he won't engage in war just like that, that way he'll lose way more than what he wishes to obtain.
