In a recent interview with Moscow's state-run Russia-1, a clip of which circulated widely on social media Saturday, the newly appointed Colonel-General Andrey Mordvichev said that the war "will not stop here [in Ukraine]."

"If we are talking about Eastern Europe, which we will have to, of course then [the war] will be longer," he added.

And what happens if 45 returns to power and pulls out of NATO while the alt-reich wack jobs continue to get Voted into power in the EU Countries?

I'm not anti US. But given the current state of the Russian forces in Ukraine, the rest of NATO doesn't need US support to defeat any Russian advance.

I highly doubt China wants all out war with NATO, so Russia would be largely alone.

The worst would be if the Cheeto supremo were to try and fight NATO. I'm not sure how much the US military complex would back that though.

Likely not, but it might take much more casualties. I think in such an event we'd want a quick & decisive victory, with a crushing defeat for Russia, instead of a long drawn out war.
