The invasion will likely overturn the European order that's ruled since the Soviet Union's collapse in 1989. Declining Russia might seek to regain all of its former Soviet countries, now allied with NATO. Old enemies France and Germany could unite in a land battle against the Russian military. If that happens, the United States will join in. England will recycle its Crimean War strategies. Theirs is not to reason why, theirs is but to do or die
