I also Have family in Poland... My father spoke to them yesterday. Poland is welcoming refugees with open arms, but the numbers are staggering. Putin will not stop with Ukraine

Good luck to your fams.
Moldova will probably be next. And that might be all he can chew.
One thing to consider, he will make things tough on Poland but at this point he probably will not invade. His losses are too high and his logistics too thin (unless this is all a ruse) to take on NATO. If he takes Ukraine, he probably will or parts, he will have an active insurgency that will bog him down.

Before he can "stop" with Ukraine, he has to take it first. 
Poland is NATO. Putin's best tank, currently, is the T-90, which burns fuel like a blast furnace in a steel mill, and in any event, is no match for an Abrams or UK Challenger 2. There's no question, in my mind, that an attack on any NATO nation would get the US involved, once the invaded country invokes Article V. |
