That’s far too sensible to be seriously considered. I’m amazed that people would love to see re-enactments of European attacks on Kharkov, Donetsk, Kiev, or Sevastopol.
And even better, they can almost taste using US forces too.
Its utterly insane.
The Russians always believe that Europe wants to invade every few decades. That is their justification for buffer zones. Damned if we don’t seem to prove every theory they have.
What is important is not reality, but how the players perceive reality. You might well be correct about how Putin sees things.
