You points are well taken, here are mine
InI one year what has Russia accomplished against its little “brother”
Lost more than half the land that had grabbed, lost thousands of pieces of equipment to the point where they are using t62s and bmp-1s as well as train cars from amusement parks tens if. Not hundreds of thousands of troop killed wounded or captured
They have spent months trying to take the small town of bakmut should be easy if taking on NATO proper is a thing
To this point for the most part Russian logistics, infrastructure, navy and Air Force bases and planes have been safe and secure behind the Russian borders
An attack on NATO and within the first week their logistics, critical infrastructure, manufacturing, Air Force and navy will be gone.
Those trenches and tanks will not be attacked by drones dropping 40mm grenades but 2000lb jdams.
Believe me I know what A-10s can do.
There may be oil, metal and commodities but if they still exist they will be moving no where
My 2 cents

Anti-war protests are happening across Europe.... In Germany, the UK, France, etc., oppose sending more money & weapons to Ukraine, demand peace talks, & are sick & tired of NATO. But these protests are being ignored in the media for the most part.

Berlin....

You assume the mighty US Air Force will have any airfields to operate from. Russian MOD has stated they can take out every collective West airfield within the reach of their hypersonic cruise missiles, including ones in England.

If you are as familiar with US aviation forces as I am ( I assume you are) you know the logistics of moving supplies, maintenance, equipment, arms, ammo, 6,000 miles in quantities needed is not easily accomplished, and without operating airfields impossible.

Vlads logistical train is less than 600 kilometers, the US 6,000 miles.Something to think about.
