Putin is counting on fighting only Ukraine. He needs to be made to fight on several fronts. Much more than he is counting on. Belarus had better watch out, because they can be fighting on two fronts, unable to help Russia. And, Russia can lose Kaliningrad. Maybe Poland would like to annex Kaliningrad. Maybe Kaliningrad would like to say goodbye to Russia.

Anyway, there is no way Russia can move into Poland just like that. There would be an awful lot of countries saying "no" to that. Plus, Putin has committed what, 70% of his entire military to his little "take the Donbas" adventure. They're going to be engaged fighting Babushkas on the ground.

NATO is free to reinforce NATO countries as much as they want. Russia has brought this on itself. Putin has done this. No one wants to invade Russia. But, Belarus and Russia had better watch out.
