Putin will take Moldova, and possible Ukraine soon.
But I'm bugging
Don't buy into the hysteria. Reading Western media you would think Putin was on this mad rampage. Granted he operates like a mob boss but in reality his objectives are rational.
Moldova, Crimea, and the Baltic states (maybe even Poland) have traditionally been part of Russia's sphere of influence and will remain so otherwise it's war. The reason for this is that's where they are more most vulnerable from invasion. Geopolitcally it would be crazy for them to sleep on those areas. They're covered to the north by the Arctic, have protection via the Ural mountains to the rear as well as a large snow covered terrain. So they created a buffer zone on their western borders which allows them to defend the country at its narrowest points rather than having a 2,000 mile frontline across the Ukranian plains.
On top of this Crimea was a part of Russia anyway before Stalin reorganised it as a part of Ukraine. Soviet Union is over they should've been got Crimea back.
These dudes have got invaded on average once every 36 years over the last couple hundred years. They're paranoid about invasion. Every power that arises in Europe sets its sights on Russia from Napoleon to Hitler.
Europeans know all this which is why when Georgia got rolled on all the Western powers could say was ''
Thank goodness they're not in Nato''. Allowing these other states into the EU or Nato is a declaration of war

I can ask you the same question with regard to America and Cuba. And bear in mind Cuba is a tiny island whilst America is one of the most secure countries geographically. America has Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. That's it. Two neighbours. America still smashed on Cuba after it spun out of its orbit and straight up gobbled Hawaii to ensure its security so that on either side are vast oceans with no rivals. Russia shares land borders with countries that have traditionally served as gateways to invasions lol.
Breh I'm sure they don't want to be under the Russian yoke but it's the facts of life. Napoleon wants it to be one way but it's the other. I'm not condoning or criticising anything, but I don't think Putin is on the same trajectory as Hitler.
