Putin has everything he needs to take over europe

What does Putin need to take over Europe like he is taking over Ukraine?

He already has everything he needs. Think about it.

He would need:

1. The Will to do this.
2. the weapons to do this
3. the soldiers and mercenaries to do this
4. the fuel to do this.
5. the Tactics to do this.


He has all these 5 things right now. The problem for the western world is that we have to have agreements to fight Putin especially because Russia is a well known nuclear power.

But, if Putin is willing to use nuclear weapons (and I think he presently is) there is really nothing to stop him from bullying his way across Europe at this time.

The first casualty is Ukraine. But the next casualty likely will be the German economy and the end of the EU because it is not set up to fight what Putin is doing. However, given enough time, Germany and the EU might find a way to organize in an effective way against Putin to stop him. However, at the present speed Putin is moving all of Ukraine is going to be Putin's just doing what he is presently doing without even sending his army in by  fall or winter 2014. And what is to stop him taking other countries this way too? This time next year the Russian Army likely will be in Ukraine on Ukraine's border looking at the next country he is going to destroy and take in this way.

Here is a map of the EU countries:

It will be interesting to see whether he tries to take Belarus or Georgia on the border with Turkey next. 

If he takes Georgia it might mean he wants to take Turkey too to get a land route to Syria. If he takes Belarus it might mean he intends to confront the EU and NATO. However, Turkey is also somewhat connected to NATO too. So, he might stop with Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia for now. 

But, by then there might have been enough time for Germany, Great Britain, France and the U.S. and Nato to have figured out a way to stop Putin in his tracks. But, for right now there is nothing really capable of stopping him for now that I can see on the horizon except maybe special NATO forces that function more like the CIA so they could be disavowed just like Putin is disavowing his mercenaries and FSB agents in Ukraine.
