But they did this to Georgia already. Has it been devastating to Russia since 08? Or whenever this happened to Georgia for the exact same reasons?I didn't think they would do it either. I also thought that they were just sabre rattling to create economic chaos in Ukraine.
But as far as the rest, Ukraine is almost impossible to defend. Its mostly wide open spaces with no real natural barriers at all. Especially in winter, they could just kind of drive down
to Kiev and nothing would easily be able to stop them. At last to me, there was no question that the Russians could militarily beat the Ukrainians.
But the problems for the Russians were always going to start happening after they had won. They are now in a situation where they will need to either make a deal with
the Ukrainian government or create a new government. Neither will be easy. They are also going to get stuck spending money to keep Ukraine from economically
collapsing. Getting into this type of thing with an army is one thing, but getting successfully out of and meeting the policy objectives is going to be very difficult.
