It’s pretty obvious what Putin is doing. He most definitely is not throwing his full military punch. Putin has shown what the military reality is and is going to use that at the negotiating table. This can be negotiated if the NATO crazy talk ends and the GD American Democrat Party stops destabilizing the area for power and profit. If the negotiations fail, you will then see the Russian Army unleashed.
In WW2 80% of Russian soldiers never returned home.
