Why would Russia want to expand? occupation is a pain in the assets. This is a circular argument, the facts seem to be going in one direction anyway. France has said they wouldn't nuke Russia even if they used them in Ukraine, Turkey is doing a deal with Putin on gas supply. Italy has already done one. Greece is pro-Russia. At his rate, NATO would not be a united force to take on Russia. America and Britain might but the rest are lukewarm at best. Plus they will have to do it soon before Kyiv falls.
