Years ago I read an article about the run-up to WW1. And I thought to myself, how could those leaders (on both sides) be so arrogant and so reckless?
Because of their foolishness, a terrible world war occurred. It didn’t have to happen. But at least we learned from their mistakes, right?
Evidently not.

Perhaps you should read a few articles about the run up to WWII. Think to yourself, about how attempts to appease dictators lead to a terrible world war. Compare Hitler and Putin.
Russia is facing a demographic collapse as Putin burns through the remaining able bodied men, leaving few to work in the manufacturing & industrial base, the population is likely down to only 140 million now and declining.
As far as another front or some big escalation goes, Putin can only dream as his military is not up to anything greater.
