Crimea comes to mind.

This is the point I was refuting.

Yes, it's not a NATO territory, but a soft target.

If you want to nullify the whatever little political capital Russian political establishment has left, there is no better target.

See how they (putinists) spin it: they say to Russians that all hardships you endure will be rewarded with a glorious military victory, and greatness.

Seeing Russia return to back muddied waters of nineties, when Chechen, and Tojikistan wars were on the news 24/7 will annihilate what little support they have from the population and elites.

The West needs to show Russians that their conscripts will be dying for nothing.

It would have helped your argument if it was factually correct.
