If Russia takes Ukraine and pacifies it, Russia will push on to the remaining gaps: the Moldovan/Bessarabian gap, Polish gap, and Baltic gap (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), leading to direct NATO-Russian confrontation.

Evidence Quote

Well, the Russians have to get those gaps. One of them is best Arabia, that modern day Muldova. One is the Polish gap. You can guess where that one is. One is the Baltic gap. That's Estonia, Latia, and Lithuania. So once the Russians are done with Ukraine, once it's pacified to their satisfaction, they will push on and there will be a direct NATO-Russian confrontation.
