That would be so if Agent Krasnov hadn’t squandered NATO’s defensive weapons on a stock manipulation scheme in the Hormuz Strait. Russia could bombard Berlin or Brussels with ballistic missiles (of which it has a growing surplus) in the same way it is bombarding Kyiv, as there are no more Patriot interceptors and won’t be.
While the ballistic missiles certainly damage Kyiv and its people, they haven’t pushed them into surrender. I don’t see how spreading out the ballistic missiles Russia has to more countries, who will then join the war more actively, would help them.
It’s really hard to tell where things are going from here (one important but difficult question being which European countries will or won’t go full Nazi), but that is not happening. The Eastern Bloc was the result of aggressive industrialization and modernization during the interwar period by the USSR; Putin isn’t interested in anything like that (because it requires not being tremendously corrupt) and nobody interested in anything like that is in a position to succeed him.
That won’t happen for a generation, and by then, the EU may be a new Warsaw Pact ruled by decree from Moscow or something.

You know what Germany did with the Blitz in London in WW2 ? It didnt bring Britain to surrender. Kyiv also does not surrender.
Non Atomic Air Bombardments cause damage but they dont win wars in most cases. Why would they here ?

So, change is constant. Got it.
