All of NATO is gearing up... Vlad has no intention of stopping at Ukraine; Poland and Finland are next, among several others like Georgia.

He may be thinking of putting his HQ in Lichtenstein.

NATO and the US have have never had a specific objective in Ukraine, just this whishy washy 'keep them supplied' approach.

The objective should have always been to get Russia out of Ukraine. Period.

Even so, Russia looks weaker than ever. Ukraine might be Putin's Afghanistan.
