This war is existential for Russia; Russia loses, and Russia gets carved up into ten or fifteen little nato protectorates, the wealth of the nation plundered.

Completely moronic, Russia can ONLY continue to exist by conquering Ukraine?

[ganeemead]

Russia can only continue to exist by eliminating the threat from nato and ukraine. This war is not about conquest; it is about neutralization and denazification and defeating nato attempts at incursion. The army the hohos started this war with no longer exists, this has been a war between Russia and nato for the past half year or so.
