re: #124 KGxvi

Depends on where the war is, how it starts, and who the parties are.

Let’s say Putin decides to Make Russia Great Again and tries to invade the old Eastern Bloc, and Trump refuses to come to the aid of NATO allies? That’s probably an even worse case scenario, and I have no idea what happens.

This is where I have to chime in and remind people to stop talking about Putin in terms of a New Cold War and compare Russia with the old USSR: they have a different set of priorities, namely consolidating power within the borders of the old Russian Empire.
They are much less concerned with the rest of Eastern Europe and the old Soviet Bloc.

I find it a terrible error to try to describe or interpret his actions in terms that have not applied since the 1990’s.
