USSR was crushed in 1989.
Russia is getting crushed by Ukraine.
Soon they will remain with Belarus?
Ukraine, Sweden, Finland - and name them will all belong to NATO - with missiles pointed at poor Russia.
Russia would have effectively been encircled - everyone else in Eastern and Western Europe will be EU & NATO.
Not enough to stop the war.
Western nations willing to pay small price for long term peace.
Crushing russia is top priority
Thought you would be still burying your head in the sand. Good that you realizing the effects of Ukrainian crisis.
