Putey barely had enough money to take the Crimea. Let’s get real folks. The reason Russia is never at war with anybody is because they can’t afford it. They have a very modest economy and conscripts for most of their forces.

Yup the red scare was quite effectively dealt with by Reagan seriously depleting their wartime economy, and they won’t make that mistake again.
Russia today is roughly the size of china with the economy of Italy, to invade anyone even a former satellite is sketchy propasi9tion, invading another full fledged non-former satellite country would be sheer suicidal stupidity.
