I don’t get “the rules’

Russia invades Ukraine, but nobody can help because Russia might see it as an act of aggression?

Russia invades Ukraine, but Ukraine can only take the fight to the Ukraine/Russia border and dare not hit targets in Russia? ...not even to disrupt supply lines?

WTF? bomb fkng Moscow, bloody Vlads nose.

Korea, Vietnam, and the Afghanistan war have made plain the disadvantages of waging war against an adversary operating from a sanctuary. So far, this war has been conducted from sanctuaries on the Russian side and from the NATO nations on the western side.

The Russians enjoy a geographical advantage if this sanctuary system were to continue because their sanctuary immediately abuts the act of war zone in Eastern Ukraine whereas Western allies have got to get their logistical supplies across the vast area of Ukraine potentially under fire.

Seems to me that bringing Russia under fire brings marginal tactical advantage to Ukraine but significantly increases the risk of wider war. On the other hand, it is in the interests of the Ukrainians to do just that.

Go home Putin and this all stops.

Apparently, the new Howitzers NATO is supplying have ammunition that can hit targets up to 25 miles away and to within a circular error probability of 16 feet. Whether or not NATO is supplying them with that ammunition is not known yet. But given the intel they’ve got it allows decapitation strikes deep into Russia. Kill enough generals and the war stops. (It’s like turning off the droids from orbit in Star Wars.)

I have been wondering all along why the Ukrainians don’t cross the border and move far enough into Russia that Russia must deploy back home. One problem with a movement like that is the supply train would make the kind of target you’d use a nuke on. Armies have always bunched up their supplies behind the lines for ease of access, distribution and use. Spreading the supplies out so they don’t make tempting targets limits their utility.

If Ukraine invades Russia, Putin will ask to join NATO for protection.
