OP
Putin's operation is always two-pronged: install a puppet, then roll in the tanks.

Wonder if Trump will react to this the same as he reacted to Russian bounties on American heads. Silly question, I know.

Will we resist when the tanks roll in (or ships or planes)?

Chaos is Putin/Trumps partner in crime.

They found the village where their maternal grandmother lived. He spent a lot of time in Minsk.
The protests across the country yesterday were inspiring. He's been convinced, though, that Russian would be coming in soon.

This past Saturday:
Some 4,500 U.S. troops are currently based in Poland, but about 1,000 more are to be added. Last month, in line with President Donald Trumps demand to reduce troop numbers in Germany, the Pentagon announced that 12,000 troops would be withdrawn from Germany with about 5,600 moving to other countries in Europe, including Poland.
In addition, several U.S. military commands will be moved out of Germany, including the U.S. Army V Corps overseas headquarters that will relocate to Poland next year.
