Even with their full focus on the Ukraine invasion, Russia doesn't have the military strength left to make any real progress there, let alone the strength to bring another country or NATO into the conflict. There's a reason the Kremlin is making empty threats about launching nukes almost daily now, a small dog barks the most.

Lol what, of course they have. Tens of thousands of Russian troops have been killed, did you think they were all navy or air force? The vast majority were tank divisions.

Imao man educated yourself Russia has not mobilized its army who the heck told you that also i find it funny you beliving the propaganda from any side. Ukraine is a limited operation. if Russia would have do so they would have Carpet bombed Ukraine ages ago reason the Army is asking putting to mobilize the Russian army. On the other hand, Ukraine Mobilize its entire force, and having one of the largest armies in Europe they have done great in stopping the current Russian force. did you really think the whole Russian army is in Ukraine? imao lol cmon dude

No way Putin is dumb enough to launch nuclear missiles on a national celebration day.

What'll happen is as simple as it is straightforward: he'll declare victory in the Donbass region. Pretty much like Trump does, and Russian state television will happily imitate fox: just lie hard enough until it has the perception of truth.

The real danger is in a couple weeks afterward, when it becomes clear that those ukranian 'rebels' still control the region, or when the families of the moskva crew finally realize their battleship actually was sunk, or... Basically, whenever the pile of lies becomes too big to ignore. That's when nukes might be launched. Not because nato has 'crossed a line', but because it'll calm outbursts of potential internal violence.

Didn't he already try to claim Victory in early March when he said he would have taken over the country by then only for it to end up a very much Bush like "Mission Accomplished" scenario?

I believe so, yes. But that really isn't a factor. Who's going to call him out on it? Am independent media have been forbidden or outlawed, and social media has been crippled as well.

Russia might be using only a dent of their power against ukraine, but that doesn't mean they have the weapons nor the resources for a full war against the west.
It's much easier for them (and china) to just sit back and watch while we destroy ourselves with self hate and teaching our kids they can be planes. Then they can easily push forward in small steps, like they did with georgia (2008), crimea (2014) and now ukraine.

This is the state of the west, thoughts and prayers while getting naked against fascism and changing their social network avatars. No woke army is going to save ukraine. They didn't have the balls to enforce a no-fly zone, they didn't even have the balls to stop buying russian oil and gas.

That ain't way to live your life from day to day. Just relax, you're not even in the middle of the conflict.
