cary to think about. probably a dumbass question but i’m asking a lot of those right now, where would that take place hypothetically?
South China Sea, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East is my best guess. Both the US and China are completely uninvadable due to the geography alone and with the US the fact that there are more guns than people.

I think it would likely take a little more than that, but calling down the full force of all the assets in the region of the Baltics would end his regional forces pretty quickly.
I'm sure we'd try and look the other way on minor stuff because nobody wants that fight, but yeah my point is a far lesser action would end Putin.

not even a tank can make its way down a Louisiana road, so I wouldnt worry

I'm not worried. We have a 4 start admiral about to frick some shite up.

Turkey is arguably the very last country he would think of attacking
But just how large do you think the Russian military is? Putin is crazed and basically an avatar for 30 years of Russian grievance, but logistical limitations and the country’s weak economic standing limit what he can do

Whatever he is doing he has got to get it done before next winter. If the US-Nato forces join and start taking out their energy production during the winter it will be very bad for the Russian people and Putin will start too feel the pressure build from within

everyone thought we refused to invest in new roads, in reality we were just creating pothole defense systems

I just don't see how Putin could broaden the action and hold any gains. And wile some will ask if he needs to, not being able to do so seems like it greatly reduces the value of the effort.
I also think Putin is harmed by a lack of any real mandate at home for wider action. It's questionable whether he really has it for Ukraine, although I think he'll have sufficient support for the near term.

I'm praying he stretches himself too thin, this turns into a slog, the Russian economy strains badly, and there's civil unrest in Russia. I have to imagine Russian troop morale is pretty shitty to begin with.

All of that is relying on Putin thinking logically lol

I wouldn't be so sure of that. How many NATO members do you think have enough military training, equipment, funding to contribute
Are you serious?

Putin thinks more logically than anyone on this message board. Don't fool yourself into thinking this isn't calculated

If China has plans to take Taiwan now is the time. That would hurt us the most economically as it crashes our economy and already shaky supply chain
I'd say it's a fairly reasonable possibility that China is waiting to see how Russia performs in Ukraine before making any moves. If Russia gets bogged down against an insurgency and is unable to force regime change for much longer than expected, China may take a step back and evaluate how they'll approach taking over Taiwan.
The longer a Russian invasion takes against a far weaker opponent, (presumably) the longer a Chinese invasion takes against a far weaker opponent AND the United States, without Russian support.

A chinese invasion of taiwan is much more complicated, logistically.

Boris Johnson just spoke to Parliament outlining a package of military aid to Ukraine and harsh sanctions against Russia, including expulsion from SWIFT. Opposition leader rose in full support.

Pretty sure that's a "rear" admiral. Bottom half.
