Russian on Russian violence is good for pretty much everyone except Russia. The only thing keeping Russia relevant is the threat of their military power. The weaker their military gets, the weaker Russia gets.
while I agree in principle.... my issue is that the russia hasn't been a conventional military threat in ages. they wanted us to think they were- and we maybe believed them.
The real issue isn't the conventional weapons-those are dangerous to Ukraine, and any other they choose to invade (Which is unlikely... they have their hands full with Ukraine...) The real issue is the nukes that may or may not be in decent repair. I would expect at least a few are capable of being detonated- maybe not loaded onto a ballistic missile, but you can always truck in a nuke and set it off that way.
The closer they get to ceasing to exist... the more likely those nukes come out to play. because Putin et al are fucking cowards.
Interesting that the Russian air force's relatively heavy losses here, as compared with in Ukraine, are reportedly because they attempted to minimize civilian casualties. No such scruples across the border.
