>>9Russian expansionism in Eastern Europe is really just an oscillation, from a historical perspective.
Russia does expansion, and what West does? West loses territory and influence, and not without help of Russia. Whites are going to be purged from South Africa.
If Russia starts stirring shit in EU countries like Poland, then the knives will come out, but not before.
That would be too late. When that happens, West will be weak. Russia would be tearing apart Europe, China butchering Asia, all while South American countries preparing attack on America, which struggles already today with a lot of internal problems. Today is the our only chance to kill the beast in its embryo form. Considering upcoming advances in biology and chemistry, war won't pretty - there will be enemy drones all over America, spreading viruses, poisoning water supply and destroying important infrastructure, then the next Putin would say it was the work of your domestic terrorists and he has nothing to do with that.
