EPTOr rather, do not give any kind of reasoning to Russia. Putin is not that aggressive to try to annex Bulgaria without reason he can cover himself with.

I'm not too worried about Bulgaria. We are part of NATO and the European Union. Russians can't do anything in terms of military. | ||

The same question always gets asked when it comes to collective defense... are we willing to sacrifice Chicago for Riga, New York for Talinn, Los Angeles for Vilnius? The short-term answer would be to let the Russians have their buffer zone back, with the understanding that no further expansion would be tolerated, in order to ensure peace. If this sounds familiar, its because it's what happened to Czechoslovakia in 1938, in an attempt to satiate Germany. In doing so, it fundamentally undermines the premise of collective defense, and puts a vast number of European countries on notice that America won't protect them. This would encourage arms buildups, decreased American influence, and could encourage Russia to try and expand its reach further westward, bit by bit. ...did you just take the annexation of parts of Czechoslovakia before WW2 and use it as an example for why NATO would ignore an attack on member states...? The annexation of parts of Czechoslovakia was approved by basically anyone that mattered at that time. The invasion of Poland wasn't. Just how it's highly likely that something will change about the current Ukraine but that does in no shape or form imply that NATO would ignore an attack on member states. | ||

Well, if you don't like to read how much against westerners are towards Russia, I can assure you there are a lot of people from ex-communist countries that also hate Russia.

If something were to happen where Putin wants to connect it to the rest of Russia, they would have to take on Lietuva and either Belarus or Latvija. So influence-wise it seems difficult to create such a bridge. What I am trying to say is that Russia has to cooperate with EU to some extand to make Kaliningrad work. Going back to cold war influence-spheres is not going to work for Russia in that context. | ||
