Romaron - my feeling is that people in the west over estimate Russia and Putin. They did it all through the Cold War.
Putin likes playing the hard man, but I just can’t see what he would want with Ukraine. It’s a vast country. I don’t think he is an empire builder, it’s all for a domestic audience.
I think he has a very poor excuse to invade, especially something large scale to attempt regime change by force.
So yeah, I think either a back down (what do you mean we were planning an invasion?!) or a short sharp incursion to keep everyone on their toes and chip away further at the west (I see Biden has given him the green light for this already)
