What's the Point of Participation in a War?

I find it hard to imagine that the Russians will retreat from the areas they've annexed. I see them fighting back until they recover these areas, but where does that end? If the Russians could, they would try to get the whole Black Sea coast and maybe even go all the way down to the Moldovan border. So I think this will have to end with exhaustion at some point, and some kind of low simmering demilitarized zone conflict line. With artillery showing and fighting on both sides. It's impossible to forecast this at this point. But your point about Korea is excellent.
