Russia is emboldened, they recently renewed their pact with China -- they all hangout together -- China, Russia, North Korea and Iran -- They like to pretend that's an alternative to western imperialism -- a balance if you will -- LOL -- the only thing stopping the invasion is Putin's hip pocket - trouble is - as greedy and delusional as he is -- he's getting old, and could go for historical glory [so called] ! But his hip-pocket nerve [sanctions/Nordstream2] is insatiable...sooo! Thanks pd ❤ - great comment!
