        The threat to his country is a separate matter to a timeline to join NATO.

        Avoiding world war three seems advisable.

                Underwhelming to fans of Hollywood movies perhaps. The Russians have laid millions of mines and entrenched. But, they don’t have the troops to man a 600 mile front line and if Ukraine had better air support with F16s or Gripens, they’d be making better progress.
