Opening up a second front in your war has historically always worked out well
Especially for a country that’s doing sooooo well.
It’s okay, they’ve only lost over a million people so far, and they still have all those women and children to send into the meat grinder.
Oh by all means please pick the 3rd largest army in nato that also absoulutely fucking hates russia.
Given how Ukraine is mopping up with them right now, I don’t see a play here. Seems like antagonizing your big brother while you’re losing a fight with your little sister. It could be lack of creativity on my part but I can’t see any gains at all for Russia in attempting this.
Most common theory I hear is they would feel better losing to NATO than losing to Ukraine.
I think it’s also so it becomes easier to announce a general draft
Yeah that is the other one I hear. But if they are fighting NATO they are surely just going to see millions more dead and leave Russia as even more of a shithole.
That’s almost funny if true.
That sounds almost mildly clever. Until you realize that even with the US, the rest of NATO has enough planes and missiles to turn everything with camo paint on it between the border and Moscow into a giant fireball.
And then everything in Moscow
*without?
Indeed, without.
