Hungary and Romania have the best military positions in Europe for a country like Russia that would be looking to expand its influence. Also the US does a lot of dubious shit around here. They will surely step in if situation escalates towards these two.That's the theory, anyway. As I said earlier, I'm not sure the US and other leading powers would risk WW3 for the sake of protecting Latvia or Hungary. Regardless of what is written in treaties.
Ukraine is Ukraine, but if Russia somehow steps on Hungary and Romania, they have fecking access to the whole of Europe.
At the moment, the situation is viewed mostly from a political standpoint, but from a military one, the countries around Ukraine are the most important for Putin and the Russians kinda want them back for like what, 30/40 years?
However you look at the situation, it's bad, very very bad. If the whole western world bows to Putin, what next? In 2-3 years he'll invade another country?
In regards to India and China, they'll jump ship to NATO the second Russia goes over a NATO territory.
