#1 Manipulating the political system and forces in the Ukraine to bring it back into the great Russian empire certainly is a threat to sovereignty.

#5 It would be interesting as Russians rolled in from the East, the Poles roll in from the West. Why put off to later what's going to happen next anyway if it means a confrontation. Why should the Poles wait to be disarmed and sold out again by the other Western Euros?

#6 In the long run the Russians will not hold on to the non-Russian half of the Ukraine. They may have a long term presence in east Ukraine but not west Ukraine. Just like Korea, they may end up with an East and a West Ukraine.

#7 Personally, I'm more into watching China, NOT Russia, as Ukraine = ECS + SCS = geopol "litmus tests" for China's "post-US" Manifest Destiny, to act + project MilPol Power outside its backyard + agz the Big Boyz.

Iff it does nothing, its agendum will have no credibility + it have to accept being a second-tier REGIONAL POWER for years or decades yet, NOT TO BE A "GLOBAL POWER" LET ALONE A US-STYLE "GLOBAL SUPERPOWER".
