oh I see, absolutely not, just their analysis on this point IMO (I see their point abt Putin rhetoric re Poland and it being somewhat similar to pre Ukraine invasion, but Poland is wholly different not just b/c it's a NATO member but own military capabilities & no major party is pro Russia)

Yeah, my position is I'm unqualified to have an opinion on military options. :) My worry is Putin seems out of his mind. He was giddy after murdering Navalny. If he believes Trump will win and/or he has plan to f' up U.S. (like the bananas satellite attack), he may fantasize he'll get away with it.
