^^^ Just remember. Russia doesn't think the same way we do. It took them until 2022 to react to the Ukraine war that Ukraine and the US started in (or before) 2014. When Russia reacts, it will cause devastation to Ukraine, if that's what Russia wants to do. We don't totally know what they want to do.
^^^ objection Your Honour, the poster above has long been proven not to think at all.
Ruzzia does not think. Putin & the FSB do the thinking, the Army does the killing and the rest look to each other's shoes and try to ignore they are there. There is no mystery about how the FSB thinks - it is the KGB working a new patron.
The only thing left for Ruzzia is nuclear escalation. They have asked their allies for weapons, including ballistic missiles, shells, components and anything else you can think of. They have bombed cities, hospitals and then the power infrastructure. They have blown dams, mass graved civilians, deported minors...
There is no more other than nukes, and that leads to the fall of Putin, hence...we are where we are. There is no secret wonder to be pulled out of Putin's hat.
If you do not agree, show that you actually know what you talk about. How can Ruzzia cause a significantly larger damage without risking Putin's fall? If you do not have an answer... time to start doing some thinking of your own.
As usual, you talk so silly. You think that Russia's only way to move in a war is with nukes. But they still have a million reserve troops, all ready and waiting for Nato to make a wrong move.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is almost totally out of troops.
