I think Russia will leave Poland alone for now.
What Russia wants is a buffer zone. Poland is already a part of NATO with actual American forces stationed there. (not that the Americans will stay for a fight)
If NATO wants to be extra safe, they can deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Poland.
SOOOOO wise, Russia saying that she will protect herself if endangered by miltary systems next to its borders, and willing to use miltiary force, so the best thing is to put nuclear weapons to its borders.

I presume you pull out a weapon if a police officer stop you on the motorway, and keep it in hand very visibly to show you are prepared for anything.

Yes, I am sure compared with the threat of Ukraine getting nuclear weapons with a neo-nazi infested government is worse than the stock market collapsing by 50%. I am also certain average Russians have a lot of stocks.
So Russia didnt have in place circuit breakers? In US its impossible for stocks to drop 50% in a day, once it goes over 15% trading halts

This is war. Markets mean nothing in a war
People are just hanging onto every indication Russia is losing, they need that vindication. I get that.
If it was Putin bluffing about going to war I'll even agree.

But the situation has changed.
Russia is willing to eat those sanctions, crash the economy, let Sweden and Finland officially join NATO and much more.

We'll have to see if it was worth it.

Dont mind please. Western cope will be about the "sToCK maRkEt" now lol

Any person who thinks that a stock market crush is going to affect Russia's calculations for a war is living in another planet frankly.

Just sit back and enjoy the show now. You can also eat melons if you want..

Problem is the sanctions increase the freedom of actions, not decrease it.

Every sacntion decrease the available tools can be used.

Now, either the NATO change strategy, or Poland will be the next de-naczificated .
If there will Swift sanction, I may see Lithuania, and Latvia and Estonia so Russia could merge with Królewiec. Estonia has big Russian population. Poland is too big, and right next to Germany. Maybe tactical nuke if Russia won't have anything to lose. I will observe and better leave the big city. Fortunately I am close to Slovakia and Czech border.
