Look at it this way: the man has shown he doesn't have respect for borders of other countries, he doesn't care about not having friends in the west for the foreseeable future, he doesn't mind expending men and material. He sees something he wants and thinks he can get. Why would he not try, former Soviet country or not? > But you do know that there is a list? Well obviously I can't know, and it's not the point. The point is, with how things have developed, you have to assume that there is a list. It's hard to know who exactly would be on it, but you can make some good guesses who probably aren't.
