his report from Larry Johnson — https://sonar21.com/putin-issues-stark-warning-to-poland-and-nato/ — demonstrates that my often expressed concern about the ever widening conflict in Ukraine has been correct.  Putin is now confronted with a US/Polish plan for Poland to seize Western Ukraine.  This would bring Ukraine into NATO and defeat Putin’s goal of demilitarizing  Ukraine and maintaining Ukraine as an independent but neutral country.
