This thing may yet go nuclear.
nah, even Putin - incredibly stupid as he is - isn’t THAT stupid
“This thing may yet go nuclear.”
And it may go away. These troops, as they are called, could be there to assist in the brokerage of a surrender. There are many points and issues that will be needed to be settled before the smoke is allowed to clear. A lot of them that were what started the engagement like natural resourses, the means to keep them operational, ports for trade, and how the Russian government is going to delve out all they are going to have to share with the Ukrainians. If the locals go on strike because they feel they are not getting a fair shake, and everything shuts down, what good was it for Russia to go in there?
The cooperation of the two countries to work these problems, many I didn’t mention, is going to be important for the success of the region as time goes on. In some cases, like in Korea, armistice can take longer than the war itself.
