Jay Nordlinger notes that, as ssensible people have known for centuries, sometimes the world doesn't leave you alone, and foreign policy must go beyond a mere assertion of short term interests of a country. All the more true as more and more nations have the ability to lob a ballistic missile to the opposite end of the planet.
Which is why I donated $51.80 to Ukrainian relief in honor of Ksenia Karolina, a Russian-American ballerina imprisoned by Putin for donating that amount to Razom. Suggest that you do the same. Every bit of help to make Ukraine liveable and prosperous is another nail in Putin's coffin. May he reside there soon.

This only an impactful argument if you truly believe that Russia's war with Ukraine is a first step toward expansion and further conquering westward, and I decidedly do not believe that. At all.
No one has convinced me that Poland is next. Not one credible argument has been presented other than, "The second coming of Hitler!" As bad as Putin may be (and I agree that he is), he is not Hitler.
Look up what Putin himself argues; that the end of the Soviet Union was a catastrophe, and in other places he argues that the end of the USSR amounted to western "colonization" of East Germany.
Reality is that his aims do not end on the Dnipro. Next step is, yes, the Vistula, and quite frankly I wouldn't be surprised if they included the Rhine.
