    Yes Russia has no reason to stop but also loses nothing if they don’t take Ukraine. That’s why the idea that they will start WW3 is ridiculous. Putin will not risk his life over some mineral rights when Russia already has a surplus of minerals.

      Yes indeed, there was no reason for Russia to invade Ukraine … yet Putin did it, three times now, and keeps demanding Ukraine gives up nukes, weaponry, and lately any form of standing army…

      And everyone is convinced he’ll be back to destroy Ukraine within 5 years if hes not tapped on the nose firmly now.

      And when he has Ukraine he’ll feel free to start kicking Europe in the soft spots.
