rxh4n1: What? The Russian Army is going to attack its own country? I’m not clear on who is going to defeat Russia to reduce it to “Greater Muscovy”.
Apparently, the concept of a mercenary army turning to attack its client is unfamiliar to you. I suggest that you refresh your memory by reviewing the recent actions of a certain mercenary army led by Putin's former chef, as it marched on Moscow. That action was abruptly broken off - Prigozhin got "cold feet" - but it clearly demonstrates how quickly circumstances can change, to Moscow's disfavor.
As for the Russian Army attacking its own capital city, I again suggest that you jog your brain cells and review events still in living memory, to wit:
I wish I knew what tactic you were pursuing here. Are you simply attempting to tie up my resources by goading me with your (feigned?) ignorance, and luring me into wasting my time with your rhetorical questions?
I never said that this (open fighting in the streets of Moscow; artillery shells being fired at the Russian Parliament) was the most likely scenario (again: although there are historical precedents for this in living memory). In actual fact, I think that it might be a (relatively) bloodless coup d'etat, a general strike of Russia's armed forces, massive demonstrations by the people in the streets, and a subsequent (relatively peaceful) segmentation of the Russian Federation to reduce it to convenient, bite-sized portions.
