Well I guess you missed all the Kremlin talk and Putin saying the SVO will continue after they take Ukraine. If you think otherwise, you do not understand Russia or Russians, one iota.
PIF, you might say I spent most of my life involved in areas directly related to dealing with Russian, Chinese, Israeli, French, British, N. Korean, Japanese, any other foreign military or intelligence adversary. I was an airborne infantryman assigned to the 82d Abn Div at age 17. We trained several months a year on Soviet doctrine. I worked a year in the US Army Regional Studies Detachment in 97-98, a required masters degree level course a select few Special Operator’s in SOCOM. I retired from the foreign service 38 years after becoming a paratrooper.
One thing I know as a professional is the Russian army and Russian diplomacy.
You might drink the Biden kool-aid but not me, and I say that respectfully.
