Re: Eye in the sky until blinded
Ukrainian peoples willingness to fight and die for their country…
Yes, but as with Afghanistan and the "tribal areas" in Pakistan, there are people outside the country who are also willing and able. If the conflict moves west towards the Polish or Slovakian borders, or south towards Romania, the risk of targetting suppliers on the other side of the border in a NATO country will rise. There is also the risk of an uprising in Belorussia, where Lukashenko is only just keeping a lid on things.
And the long term aim of Putin to establish at least a land corridor to Königsberg if not reinvade the Baltic countries.
And you can also be pretty sure that the CIA, et al. are looking at the Caucuses and beyond, with Putin's troops so widely spread: there's resentment against Moscow from their to Siberia.
Wars are always messy and escalation is almost always inevitable.
