Assuming you’re talking about Poland and Romania, the consensus was that Russia’s initial plan would have been installing a puppet government.
So they wouldn’t have had Russia as neighbor, but a Russia-friendly country, just like they did for most of the rather brief time Ukraine existed as an independent country. Or another Belarus, which Poland at least is already neighboring.
I get why these countries are nervous but Ukraine’s very very different from Romania or Poland or any other EU country.
- synu 4y agoThat Ukraine doesn’t actually exist is what you hear on Russian TV, but is it actually true? I don’t think it’s quite that simple.
- ratsforhorses 4y agoHonest question , how are they "very different from Romania or Poland"? Do you mean bigger? Also hypothetically if Belarus wanted to join the EU (after a regime change ofc) what would your objections be?
