55. Russia has been invaded more than a few times, from the West. An infinite number of times

more than America.

Russians, from my understanding of the consequences of history, from Putin to peasant, view the NATO expansion as far less benign than the West sees it.

The truth is Russia will not invade any NATO nation, and NATO will not invade Russia…nukes on each side means Nyet in any language.

So proxy wars is what we have ever had and will ever get, absent total insanity.

Russia has lost all the proxy wars as the graphic vividly points out,

At some point an equilibrium will be reached. At which point let there be Peace in all of Europe, and points east.
