Look at it
It’s obvious as hell
No it's not.
This isn't a Shock and Awe war gaming in Ukraine.
https://voxday.net/2022/03/05/why-russia-is-holding-back/Both Russians and outsiders have been wondering why Russia is using second-line troops and neglecting to make use of its air forces.
Russia is holding back because it is actively prepared for a full-scale war with NATO. Whether that is in anticipation of a second invasion of Eastern Europe or in response to a potential NATO intervention is impossible to say, but I guarantee you that plans for both scenarios, as well as various others, are already in place and are being updated as the conflict proceeds.
Those who talk about Putin’s “failure” due to Russia’s inability to decapitate the Ukrainian leadership in a single strike simply don’t understand the depth of planning that goes into any operation of this scale.
