We Warned About This - Here's What Happens Next

Russian President Vladimir Putin officially declared war on Ukraine and a full-scale invasion is underway. Ten minutes after Putin released a pre-recorded speech laying out his intent to invade regions of Ukraine, rockets and missiles were fired.
In his speech, Putin threatened anyone who tries to interfere with this invasion:
"Now a few important, very important words for those who may be tempted to intervene in ongoing events from the outside. Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so to create threats to our country, to our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences as you have never experienced in your history. We are ready for any development of events. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made. I hope that I will be heard."
In response to the invasion, several North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries have invoked Article 4 of the NATO charter. ACLJ Senior Military Analyst Wes Smith explained what this means:
"Out of the 30 NATO countries, 4 of them today invoked Article 4 of the NATO charter – Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Poland is a former Warsaw Pact nation, the others are former Soviet Republics, they border Russia. And Article 4 is there if any country feels like their territory is being violated potentially or their political independence. If they believe they are threatened on either of those things – territory or independence – they can invoke Article 4. It means it calls for a mandatory meeting of all 30 member states immediately. And of course, the member states all have permanent representatives in Brussels. It’s called the North Atlantic Council, and they will meet. Usually what is a result of this is that more equipment and more troops are sent to those countries that are invoking Article 4."
So, there could be a possibility of sending more military personnel to other countries. Wes added what kind of engagement to expect from other countries:
"Well for Ukraine it is total engagement. The threat that we don’t know the complete outcome is how far Putin will go after this. I don’t think he will attack another country right off, but you look at the former Balkan States . . . and the former members of the Soviet Republic that have invoked Article 4 of NATO, they are feeling threatened. What has happened is the world today is a much more dangerous place to live."
