... if can borrow words from Lin-Manuel Miranda "a ragtag volunteer army."

Do you they really want to mess with us? Or is this just grandstanding to see if they can get us to back down?

Because of the sanctions weren't having any affect they wouldn't be threatening us like this.

given their army's performance in the field, I am not worried about their threats.

Putin is the one destroying Russia, alone. The West and other parts of the world want peace.

These barbaric animals mostly make news with their war crimes and killing children and not for how successful or well-organized they are.
The whole world would be laughing about them if they weren't such garbage pos.

But that would spell the end for Russia. I worry that if they get desperate enough, it might be a possibility. But given the poor shape of their military, who knows what the really can do.

This whole thing is like absurdist comedy.

I am sick of russia and their constant threat.
We presently have them in a choke hold. NO tap out! Russia must be punished to a level they will never forget.
They can either be a member of the world community or they can be north Korea. The russian people presently have a comfortable life. We are taking that away and it needs to stay that way for a few years.
