Now the moment has come. The evil forces are lined up, ready to strike. No wall protects the Ukraine. No NATO country can come to its aid. Such is the dilemma facing the West. Putin needs only to choose his place of attack, to move quickly and to consolidate. He will then swallow another part of this poor country.
Sanctions will be imposed but not in their full force. Putin will use what he has gained as a foothold to claim more and more until he has all that he wants. When the Ukraine phase is over, he will look for other lands to subjugate. His final years will be very dangerous.
