    can’t really see him coming back from it to try for more.

    Then you clearly haven’t studied Russian history and policy vis a vis Ukraine

      That’s true, I am not deeply educated there. Any info you would impart on the topic? Does Russia have some perpetual hardon for controlling Ukraine which will never go down?

        The modern Russian government is essentially claiming the territory of the Soviet Union. The reason they started their invasion now is because it was the last chance before Ukraine would become a EU and NATO candidate. If Ukraine falls, Russia will rearm and try pull the exact same “little green men” strategy in the Baltic states, Georgia and Moldova next.
