Ukraine....Putin is trying to plug the 9 historic invasion routes while they still have the ppl. They have been invaded 50 times historically. 2 are on the other side of the Ukraine, Moldova and Poland, they are in NATO. If Ukraine cripples them, they dont feel obligated to nuke the troops as a safeguard against invasion. If NATO beats them and those troops get nuked, then they all fly. So, everyone is sending the Ukrainians party favors. Everyone.
