I think this earlier post makes an important point about this invasion in relation to our elections:

West of Ukraine is Poland. WI, MI, CT over 7% Polish Ancestry. PA, IL and others 5-7% & bunch 3-5%

Keep this shit up and if Ukraine falls to Russia, Belarus will probably become annexed too. While Belarus thinks they are being slick now by appeasing Putin, in short time he will move against them, when he has that country's Eastern & Southern borders.


Then, The new Soviet Union will be on Poland's Eastern Front.


I live in NJ, which has a 5.5% Polish-American population, my kids are half-Polish. I hear that Putin's threats against Ukraine are not sitting well at the Polish-American club.


Polish ancestry might be a factor in the 2022 & 2024 elections. And I'm sure a lot of other Americans with European roots are uneasy too. I bet they are paying attention, and if this goes to shit, the GOP will be fucked in quite a few states.

3. This will also be important to anybody from the Baltic countries

4. Alexander Lukashenko would welcome annexation

He has publicly expressed as much. He wants to be a full partner in a Greater Russia.

At that point, a right to a Russian land bridge to the exclave of Kaliningrad on the Baltic will be demanded. That would involve Lithiania or Poland ceding real estate.
