How, exactly, would our military be able to do that once we allow Ukraine to use the majority of our stockpile of ordnance to no effect? I suppose that if we have to step in with "boots on the ground" at this point, we'll be able to stop the Russkies by screaming at them, right?

You've been watching way too much Tucker and watching those foolish Canadians who moved to Russia and subsequently got all of their money stolen....by the government. But, hey, they have their own version of Home Depot

But when has there been any remote threat of a ground war breaking out between Russia and any western power in the past 35 years where Russia would be in danger of invasion? Except for when Russia invades its neighbors.
What you’re saying is that Russia started a war in order to gain strategic defensive positions to prevent an invasion from Europe, when no European power has tried to invade Russia since Nazi Germany 80+ years ago
Agreed. It makes no sense. I don't believe Putin originally intended to take all of Ukraine, but after 3 years of the west's bullshite and frickery Putin figures why not?
It's obvious the west isn't interested in any peaceful resolution, it's in Russia's best interests to take it all. IMHO

Japan does a good job with cultural integrity without invading its neighbors.

Russia controlled every access point to their core territories up until 1991, so they've only been vulnerable for less than 35 years. Unfortunately, their strategic thinking goes back hundreds of years. If they get all of Ukraine, Poland, Romania, and the Baltics will be next.

Bessarabian Gap is south towards Romania. Ottomans used it 400 years ago

Because they're the only geographical blocking positions where the Russians can place static forces to prevent invasion. The Northern European Plain is wide open all the way to Moscow once those are crossed. They've been invaded multiple times from those positions.
arse backwards retards over there can’t get out of the 1930s and 1940s. They need to just get with the program already and join the rest of the world in the 21st century.

That’s what makes me chortle. Russia is getting its arse handed to them or at minimum struggling with little old Ukraine yet they can also conquer all of Europe.
The Ukrainians are tough.
Russians can slice through the Balkans with ease and then there's Poland whom they mistreated mightily. Russia is a bad actor. I hope we remain a rock in their shoe.

Wait, what? Or are you talking about post WWII, after we nuked them? It took uranium and plutonium going critical (and firebombing the shite out of Tokyo) to keep them from invading Korea, China, Russia, the Philippines, etc. again.

They also have one of the highest divorce and abortion rates in the world.
The abortion rates have declined since the fall of the Soviet Union.
But they as a people went so long using abortion as contraception under the leftists it’s just what they do.
The US has been moving in that direction.

The USSR lost the cold war and the successor state could have used Japan's playbook to build a nation by Russians for Russians and engaging in trade and commerce.
But even with their nukes they somehow felt threatened. They've always been paranoid like that.

But Putin has publicly expressed how Ukraine should not exist as a sovereign nation.
He always has wanted all of Ukraine because he believes it is Russia.

Putin wanting to take all of Ukraine and then attack a NATO country to secure some sort of geographic defensive position makes zero sense

As Catherine the Great once said, "the only way for Russia to defend its borders is to expand them". That's why they always needed the Baltics, the Caucusus, and all of the 'Stans. Keeping that footprint is why they still have forces and a heavy intelligence presence in South Ossetia and Transnistria.

If they could simply overrun Ukraine, they’d have done it by now. They failed at that at the very outset of the war.

They can’t get to the Balkans without invading NATO countries, and all of the Balkan nations are in NATO except Serbia and BiH.
Ain’t happening.
