That probably depends on the scale of the invasion by Russia
It depends if they limit themselves to the Donbas. If they do that, it'll be quick as they'll win. If they go further afield, it will be longer and more difficult for them.

From the snippets I've seen as Ukraine is making the right choice to limit what is coming out, it appears as if they're looking to defend away from the border.
 
Can anyone see Russia’s point of view? Last thing they’d want is for a neighbouring country to become part of NATO?
Putin doesn't want staging areas for a military alliance which always targeted Russia on his borders. Apparently, he's concerned enough to kill over it, despite the fact that everyone knew Ukraine was nowhere near NATO accession.

There's not a ton he can do about the Baltics via the use of force, since that's a shooting war with the West. He'll have to slow play that through political means. He can cripple Ukraine or topple its government since it is not currently a NATO member, and receive a reply short of the use of force.
 
I don't hate Russian people. But i do hate it's government, and anyone in favour of it, can go and do one in my eyes.

We all knew that if there was going to be a world war three, then Russia would be the cause of it.

What happens when they attack Estonia Lithuania and Latvia, those countries are members of Nato after all.

Once a Nato member is attacked, then i see conflict being unavoidable unfortunately. Although i do hope an agreement is made, to avoid the use of nuclear weapons.

It's just a very sad situation and Russia are to blame 100% for this. My thought and prayers are with the people of Ukraine right now.
 
Like he just wants the end of NATO. Very reasonable demand. I'd go further and demand every American military base shut down and evacuate in all the countries outside of USA. Especially the ones surrounding Russia.

American emperialism and its overthrow needs to be addressed first and foremost.

I had my money on North Korea causing it to be honest.
I’m a bad gambler though.
