rxh4n1: "Yes, they did invade Georgia, and they stopped. they could have easily conquered the whole region, but they didn’t.
Why didn’t they?
They didn’t because they didn’t want to.
They could have given them the Chechen treatment, but it wasn’t worth the trouble.
In Ukraine, they are now holding on to the parts they really want.
They are not going to attack NATO; they know we could destroy them if we had to."

Maybe... and yet... somehow, we can't destroy Russia in Ukraine, can we?
So, you are understating both Russia's capabilities and their ambitions, not to mention their willingness to suffer massive casualties, as demonstrated since February 2022.

Further, you have not been listening to Russian government's propaganda to their own people lately.
They are absolutely revanchist, expansionist, imperialists -- to restore the old Soviet/Tsarist empires.

Of course, you are 100% entitled to keep your own head planted firmly in the sand, but that didn't work so well for the West during the 1930s, did it?

“somehow, we can’t destroy Russia in Ukraine, can we?”

What’s this “we” horseshite? Unless “we”, meaning the USA, get in it, no one is going to destroy Russia in Ukraine.

“So, you are understating both Russia’s capabilities and their ambitions, not to mention their willingness to suffer massive casualties, as demonstrated since February 2022.”

Which is it? Either they’re incompetent doofuses like many here claim, or they’re ten feet tall and going to take over Europe. It can’t be both. Also, this is not the 1930’s, that’s a bogus comparison.

"To the last Ukrainian".
A grieving woman is horrified by the size of just one of the war cemeteries.
