Biden and his handlers are thinking that this is a golden opportunity to take Russia out completely.
Yes, that would certainly change the complexion of things in the world, but what happens to their nukes?
World wars have started over smaller issues.
I see only three scenarios.
1. Negotiated settlement. Russia wants the Eastern border territories and Crimea. In light of the recent military wins for Ukraine, it sounds like they are unlikely to give Russia anything.
2. Russia steps up their assault on Ukraine big time right up to the unleashing of Nukes. Most likely this is going to happen. I see a definite option for Putin to use nukes.
3.Russia calls Biden’s bluff and attacks a Nato country.
I see this like Russo-Japanese War. Ukranian military is much more advanced and they are fighting at home so they have that advantage.
Russia is going to be humiliated so they can launch nukes at Ukraine. What will the West do about that?
“Biden and his handlers are thinking that this is a golden opportunity to take Russia out completely”
Bush and Cheney used the aftermath of 9/11 to rally public support for taking out Sadaam Hussain. There were unforeseen consequences and the goal of replacing Hussein’s dictatorship with a democratic government failed. Is the US safer today?
What does that even mean? The actual conquest of Russia itself is a military impossibility, and is not even going to be on any table, anywhere.
I'm sure there are a whole lot of folks who would love to see Putin himself fall, simply as an abject lesson that Europe should have been done forever with the mass butchering of each other. But Putin falling does not the fall of Russia as a nation, and nobody with any sense would believe that is possible or even desirable.
