If Russia decides to invade what was considered to be Russia before Ukrainian independence, the West will not step in.
If however, Russia were to move Beyond the Ukrainian borders, then It would be a whole different scenario. A terrifying one at that.
Russia also seems to be cosying up to China in what could be seen as a loose alliance. This is a worrying development for a world where there seem to be so many flash points.
I wonder, if Ukraine was annexed by Russia, would the Chinese consider doing similar in the South China Sea, where it is flexing it’s considerable military muscle? Taiwan may well be next!!
Russia would certainly support their actions whatever they were.
The west can hardly take the moral high ground on these matters though, we have intervened and invaded our way through several countries in the pursuit of ‘world peace’ and look where that has got us? These campaigns have been nothing but bloody, costly and ultimately fruitless.
