wWe certainly don’t want to find out. I actually think of we got into with Russia right now like head on Putin would be killed by his own people, probably his personal security force.
He is looking real bad everywhere now, at home and all across the world. It sucks to be Putin right now. If he stops prosecuting this war then he is weak everywhere and people will question his fitness to lead. If he starts using thermobaric weapons or indiscriminately lobbing missiles that kill lots of civilians he risks western intervention. If he keeps throwing Russian dummy soldiers into the Ukrainians he is going to seem like he lost militarily.
“Tooth to tail” he is really only working with about 70k soldiers and he decided to open up multiple fronts which is said somewhere before he attacked would be the most insecure strategy but high reward. Turns out he should’ve did phased attacks from the east moving west.
And don’t think Russia has unlimited munitions and soldiers or provisions. These guys expected a quick turnaround.
It’s not fun being Putin.
