[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1172442, member: 56232"] All this is also feeding into the story they tell in Russia that the west is weak, the people are coddled and feeble and only Russia represents strong manliness. Putin invaded Georgia and they said he would be pacified once he got what he wanted. Putin then invaded Crimea and people said he would be pacified once he got what he wanted. Putin supported separatists and people said he would be pacified once he got what he wanted. Now he's trying to take over the entirety of Ukraine, what sort of idiot could still think he will be happy if he succeeds? He can't have that much longer left on Earth and he will not want this to be the last act he does to restore the USSR, he will almost certainly start the next conflict immediately after Ukraine finished, most likely sweeping straight into Moldova. We will sit back and let him take that too you can guarantee. After that? He has given up any pretence of working with the west now, the gloves are off and this is the new cold war. At least in the first cold war the west was prepared to front up to Russia. Now? [/QUOTE]
