Probably somewhere in Moldova. I don’t think they’re a part of NATO and there were rumors that Putin was going to invade them next if he was successful in taking Ukraine.
They already have a foothold in Transnistria. Like Georgia, they’ve been slowly working on invading by inserting Russians into occupied areas then claiming “Look, we’re Russian. The locals are oppressing us. We need to bring in more military to keep Russians safe.”
I’m not that educated on the current situation and am oversimplifying what I think I know, but Russia pretty much controls Transnistria and there is a huge weapons depot there.
Is there anything he can pick on that isn’t a member of NATO, however?
I’m quite out of the loop but through he didn’t really have any choices - unless he punches down on his old buddy Belarus?

That rings a bell. I’m curious however as Moldova is blocked by Ukraine.
There is a small inlet through Ukraine to get there, but…
