Guardian: Reports " Putin warns of possible military response over ‘aggressive’ Nato...Russian leader’s speech to top commanders comes as tensions grow with the west over Ukraine "
Lets Get Real:
The way PUTIN is going he will have to invade the Ukraine or he will be seen as WEAK at home, the problem with invading the Ukraine is that Putin cannot control the outcome, it can be postulated that the Ukraine people will not just walk over, they will fight, there will be thousands of deaths, on both sides, Putin will not be able to hide this, as he has done with the Russian action in East Ukraine. There will be Ukraine refugees going to the BORDER, will they be allowed through, of course the US will have to do something, Biden cannot just sit in the Oval Office and DO NOTHING, he will be forced by pressure on the Hill to support the Kiev Government with military support, in this case equipment, but what happens if a Russia misfires and hits a NATO Country or NATO planes, one cannot game that out. The WEST will have to bring the Russian Economy to its knees as to follow through with its harsh economic threats, that could force Russia in to more drastic action, the Baltic States could come under threat, also Poland, is Putin willing to cross that line. This is why appeasing Putin is a very BAD IDEA, you just have to understand the lessons of Munich 1938, never give a tyrant a inch, they will take more. As noted in the article Putin is creating a fake impression that the West is about attack Russia, the POOR Russian people have know way of knowing the TRUTH. One expects a Russia invasion of Christmas Eve, one hopes one it WRONG.
