    Like, if it was conquest he was after, why wouldn’t he just immediately blast Ukraine down to bedrock?

    Russia still has ballistic missiles and bomber planes

    Could have just turned Kiev into a smoking crater in the first few days if he wanted

      And they act like Russia is going to be in Lisbon by the end of the year but they also act like Russia is both crawling towards Kiev and suffering heavy losses to get that far.

      I doubt Russia could keep going into Western Europe even if they wanted to do it.
