The problem becomes when Ukraine STOPS at the Russian borders. And they will. They have no desire to start a land war in Russia in winter.
Will Russia back away and rearm and strengthen their military like they did in WWII ? Putin's demagogues are certainly pushing that idea.
The end game in this can ONLY end safely with another "White" revolution in Russia and the death of the despot and his vlasti. I fear we have entered a Korea situation with Ukrainian borders as the DMZ, and massive armed buildup in both countries across that border.
My concern is that a military desperate to impress Putin with swift retribution and progress will move on to super-conventional weapons that can take out a small city in one blast or even tactical nukes.
