You are forgetting an entire half of the country with cities and airports.

Even then, operation Danube is more akin to regime change than conquering and occupying a country, which was mersheimers point

Thats fine, but it is the central part of the quote

>"In fact if you really want to wreck Russia, what you should do is encourage it to try and conquer Ukraine. Putin again is much too smart to do that."

This is true if you are talking about military occupation. obviously not true for a coup, assassination, or quick regime change.
