Gee, who would have thought that there’s a military out there that still knows how to fight to win - by any means?
What, no lawyers micro managing the offense, no rules of engagement?
Like they did in the Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Chechnya? What makes you think they are going to win?

The U.S. military can whoop a** with one hand tied behind its back. In fact, given the ROE they’re saddled with, they have.
The Russian troops, on the other hand, will employ total war tactics; no holds barred. If they are called out on any “war crimes”, they’ll simply thumb their collective nose with a “whaddya gonna do about it” attitude.
Among the total war tactics approved of by Geneva Convention is summary execution of armed, non-uniformed partisans. I expect there will be a lot of that, especially after they extract whatever useful information they can get in their interrogation process.
Putin is not a wimp, like Yeltsin and Gorbachev before him, or the pathetic spoiled brats running the U.S. He will offer no quarter to anything he goes after.
I saw him on Russian television in 2004 after the Muslims blew up that school in Ingushetia. He swore by the throne of Heaven that he would find all those responsible and kill them. He spent the next 5 years doing just that.
