    Didn’t he already repeatedly claim that he’s fighting directly with the West?

    Even in his own words what would this change?

    The russian army is entirely bound in its invasion into Ukraine. If it weren’t for the threat of nuclear annihilation, NATO would get to Moscow within 3 days. A true 3-day military operation.

      1. Even with nuclear annihilation, NATO could still get to Moscow in a three day operation. It’s just a question of which cities back home are still standing.

      2. Moscow is not the big prize you might think it is. Russia can just retreat hundreds of kilometers further east and carry on.

      3. NATO can do the thunder run, but they are not equipped to win a massive land war in Asia. You really gotta listen to the Sicilian from Princess Bride on this one.

        Russia can just retreat hundreds of kilometers further east and carry on.

        Into what, a wasteland full of snow and bears? Russia might be massive, but it works like Canada. Everybody is huddled into very specific regions for a reason.
