More likely, Putin wants to re-establish the SSRs. (it already has many “mercenaries” in Ukraine … and soldiers in Belarus.)George W.

Most West Ukrainians are ethnically Russians. Now that the Ukraine is in NATO, we have an obligation to provide equivalent support as other NATO members. Taking the lead in diplomacy is good. Sanctions are good. No boots on the ground.<br /><br />Taiwan is a different story. They are near mainland China. They call themselves the People's Republic of China. They have AFAIK never been part of mainland China. They are a non-NATO ally. Again, US takes the lead in diplomacy. Sanctions are good. No boots on the ground.<br /><br />Consider that if we threaten to take over Cuba. We would not want to see Chinese and Russian assets in our hemisphere.
