Poland is a member of NATO. As are the Baltics. That's a line Putin doesn't need to cross, and he's not dumb enough to cross it and start WW3. Which is that that would mean.

There's lower hanging fruit. If Ukraine falls, Moldova is next. Or Belarus will be absorbed. Or Georgia.

I'm not under the impression he wants any of the Muslim former SSRs.
