That’s the point about Ukraine. They won’t ever “just go home”. They consider it an existential war.

True, but Ukraine doesn’t have to have the best army anymore. They just have to possess the best technology. One big difference in the modern era.

And does the Russian populace consider it an existential threat, or does Putin? There’s a significant difference.

Actually, the US has had a plan for invading Russia since the beginning of the Cold War, if not the Russian Revolution. That’s what military planners do.


Please enlighten me, if I’m so dumb and you’re so smart.
