I wonder if Russia realizes the trouble invading Poland would cause for it.

If it's one thing the Cold War proved, it's that the Russkies know and fear retaliation from America and allied western countries. To do this would be to sign their death warrants.

If Russia did to Poland what they did to Georgia, it would trigger a world war.

I don't think many powerful countries would align themselves with Russia.

I haven't seen too much positive feedback from the world about the invasion of Georgia.

Jason · Only in cartoons

Yeah, it would be the world against Russia. Or, more accurately, Europe and the United States against Russia.

Shortest major conflict ehvah.

DEATHPIGGIE · I'm fat and nobody likes me

At least it would be quick. I doubt it will happen. Russians aren't THAT stupid.

In all honesty, it would probably better for the long-term interests of the Russian people, assuming some kind of Marshall Plan to rebuild their economy.

War would be good?

JASON!

THIS ISN'T HAPPENING.

Are you familiar with the expression, "Caught between a rock and a hard place"?

I can see Russia attacking Poland after they take back the Ukraine.

Jason · Only in cartoons

I can see the Russian government (read: Putin) talking about how great the invasion of Georgia for years as the plutocracy that is Russian society tumbles uncontrollably downhill.

They are convinced that these missile defense systems are actually nuclear bombs pointed at them. Russia is a xenophobic nation. Every single bad thing that has happened to Russia was some other countries fault. I wouldn't put it past them to attack Poland, especially if no one is going to stop them.

Really? Which other country was to blame for their oppressive autocratic monarchy? The Bolshevik revolution?

The Royal Family was corrupted by the West. Alexandra, the wife of Nicholas was Queen Victoria's granddaughter. I'm no expert of Russian history, but the book Fall of Eagles covers some of this. My neighbors are Russian and I've had conversations with them about this. They told me that as kids they were taught that the United States stole Alaska.

I do know that the Romanov family royal colors were purple, green, and gold. They visited New Orleans during Mardi Gras, and their colors just stayed around.
