The thing is, who is going to try and stop them?

Trump? Unless his secret meetings were all about causing a war to thin the herd, then I don't see the U.S. leading the way. China? If anything, they have a lot of the same objectives and ideology.

And no way does the EU risk destroying themselves and fighting a war in their own backyards over Ukraine. Ukraine was administered by Russia through the U.S.S.R. within the life times of practically every world leader. Having it go back to that wouldn't be something that I think a lot of countries will send their young out to bleed for.

I just can't see anyone standing up to them. Now if they tried invading former satellite states like Romania or Poland, then for sure WW3 would break out.
