Reply to comment by TuesdayShuffle in Qatar and Germany sign long-term natural gas agreement by dragon8811

It was an unwise strategy for sure, but not one that I expect the Russians would try and repeat elsewhere, the main reason being that Germany is in NATO. I very much doubt the Russians would try and invade at all. If they did, it wouldn’t be for very long as they’d be pummelled by all of NATO. Either that, would go full WW3 very fast…

Edit for clarity

I honestly don't know how far Putin would/will push Russia, this whole invasion into Ukraine has gone off-script. He seems hell-bent on getting Russia wrapped up into military conflicts to keep himself in power. If his position as leader were to get threatened, I picture him doubling down and I really don't know what that looks like. I definitely feel for our NATO allies that are closer to the Russian border....
