Would mean WW3.

Let's be honest. Russia couldn't take down Ukraine, a third rate military eventually equipped with first rate weapons.

Poland, for example would have fed Putin his shoes... Poland alone.

And that's before considering NATO involvement.

If there's ONE thing people should learn from this conflict... Russia is a paper tiger in a ground war.

And if/when this war ends.... the Russian economy, MIC and population will have no appetite for more war, at least for a while.
