Taking Ukraine is easy, holding it is like holding Afghanistan, it would only burden Russia with no benefits to it.
Again with the A2/AD nonsense.
Not entirely sure where this idea that Russia is going to invade Ukraine is coming from. There’s no appetite within the military ranks for an invasion. What Russia will however do is obliterate Ukraine’s air force and Navy. It has no intention of holding onto real estate with a hostile populace. Geo strategically, Russia wants to keep Ukraine in check and make it a muddy field for NATO to avoid. If talks fail, the ‘military technical’ means coming from the senior leadership in Moscow is not an invasion as the CIA would like, it will be a strike campaign destroying the air force, navy and heavy armaments including drone warehouses, runways, command and control. Then it’s a case of sitting back and see who decides to try to re-arm Ukraine, knowing they could just be brewing them up for a second hit later on.
Its critical to pay attention what will happen in the next weeks ahead of us. RF had at least 100k soldiers ready for action on the border of Ukraine. That 100k might sound like a lot but it would not have been enough for large scale war with a country the size of Ukraine. If the military movements now increase and the 100k turn into 300-500k then war is almost 100% certain. We can all speculate that the desicion to invade Ukraine was already made and the securty meetings only served both sides to make clear what the other side will do in case of escalation.
It won’t be as difficult as Afghanistan as a large population is sympathetic with Russia and a larger one fed up with Ukrainian politics.
Ukraine has many good things for Russia to offer, Odessa, A connection to Transnistria, which would be the next to Join Russian Republic.

Yeah, he can easily invade, we all know that.
But why would he do that?
