The Russians Can't Control All That Territories

Russia's competitive advantage right now is control of the aero space and the maritime domains. Russia, in the nineteenth century, on more than one occasion, used harsh, brutal methods to impose its control,. not just n ukrane, but on poleland. The most significant thing that has happen in the last two weeks is that a very slight threat of the use of the nuclear weapons caused nato to back off. If we aret in a new cold war, we the other side aren't really serious because we're not really prepared to meet nucleear threat with nuclear threat.
