Poton, I Think He's Driving Himself Towards a Hot Warl Shashang

There is a great deal for vladimir putten to lose domestically. A real war is going to generate body bags, and that's going to have consequences for him.

It's very difficult to see how a ground other than a big one that essentially topples the government, gets russia in terms of severing ukraine from the west.
