This book pretty much lays out those other scenarios:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

* Use subversive tactics to destabilize countries

* Use natural resource control to pressure countries

* Use military as a last resort when influence fails

Basically, make energy deals with Germany, ignore the US and UK and install puppet governments in Eastern Europe through bribery and propaganda until they can be annexed or granted “special status”.

Ignore US? Well that didn't happen. Former president appears to have some connection and dependence on Russian interests.

* Ignore the threat of US / UK conventional military intervention through threats of mutual assured destruction
