Probably, but in this case. It is also a lot of where next in line after the Ukrainians. Because if Putin thinks it is worth invading Ukraine then he thinks the same of Poland. And if successful there then Germany is next, etc.

The domino theory holds here and the only way to stop it is to make sure the current domino (Ukraine) does not fall.

But the main issue with this is that all of these are NATO members, while Ukraine isn't...
