– Among politicians and among the military there is an opinion that 3 to 5 years after the end of the war in Ukraine Russia will be ready to aggressively attack Western states.
– For a full-scale war, Russia will be ready in a fewer years. However, under certain circumstances, it may be ready for another war in six months. I mean a comparatively insignificant conflict, as president Biden called it, to a lesser intrusion. Under no circumstances can we conclude that war is inevitable. She'll be inevitable if we don't do anything to halt her.
– Could this smaller invasion have been that the Russians would have entered east Lithuania or east Belarus and never left, as they did with Crimea in 2014?
