re: #631 Big Beautiful Door

Lets look at this realistically. Russia is a poor country, and its military is severely depleted from the days of the Soviet Union. Did you see the photos of their flagship bellowing smoke? Poland is a huge country, and Russia would wreck itself trying to control it. Trump isn’t going to dissolve NATO; the Republicans around him support it, and he has little interest in actual policy. Quit fantasizing about bizarre scenarios.

Russia is more concerned with re-establishing the old Russian Empire than it is rebuilding the Soviet Bloc. And do not forget, there are millions of Russians stranded outside the borders of their native countries in the old Soviet republics. Many of them would welcome being annexed.
