Will there be any major infra attacks? On who, by whom?
The anon thing is cool and all - but many suspect that is intelligence agencies masquerading, but who knows about that..
I just hope this thing cools down and fast...
It’s easy for that to get way out of control, very very quickly.
I generally agree, but there are emotional limits to this kind of thing. Americans have historically been very willing to commit airplanes and bombs to righteous causes, but marching to Moscow would be a very different matter. I assume the same thing is happening with Russia's conscripts: "Why the fuck are we doing this?"
Russia has switched in the last 10 years (20?), to a large extent, from a conscript to a volunteer and mercenary force.
Not that the US (with occasional other Allies) hasn’t done similar, they just aren’t in this case.
AFAICT nobody is suggesting putting troops on the ground in Russia. Nobody in the west has any desire to conquer Russian territory.
There's a big spectrum between "stand back and watch" and "march troops to Moscow". Obviously "supply Ukraine" is already in progress. "Bomb Russian logistics convoys in Ukraine" could be too. Hell, the west doesn't even have to admit it. "We have no idea why your tanks are flaming wrecks, maybe their car warranty has expired?"
