Talk about a booby prize.
All they would win would be a scenario something reminiscent of the troubles in Northern Ireland only on steroids.
Nine times the size of the place or thereabouts, requiring millions of troops(about 2.5 million) permanently stationed there to keep the peace.
Talk about having bitten off far more than you can chew, they would have bodies coming home in bags every day of the week.
Putin is a fool even to have contemplated this invasion never mind doubling down and threatening to chuck nukes out the pram.

This is the same excuse for u.s. drone strikes. We have no choice to fire back and kill near by civilians!
Yes, there is a choice. We didnt have to go there and occupy a country which caused more deaths and destruction than there ever would be.
And Russians didnt have to invade.
Stop making excuses for murder and war.
So Russians should have waited for Murika, NATO and good old Ukrainian Nazi boys to kick down its door and let 10s of millions of Russians die?
Sound strategic logic my friend!
Also 2 decades and 8 severe years of warnings is enough time for the world to stop and think "Hey maybe they are not joking and we should actually respect their sovereign right?"
Why do you think NATO would ever invade russia?
Did we invade in the 90s when you were practically defenseless?
Did we invade this summer when you were practically defenseless?
Has NATO ever threatened to invade russia?
Absurd.
But yes, after 8 years of warnings and sanctions, russia *should* have learned to respect Ukraine's 'sovereign rights'.
Unfortunately, that never happened.

Really because he has just declared 4 of them to be part of Russia forever, so there is that.

In 8 years of warnings, maybe Ukraine should have stopped killing those Ethnic Russians in the Eastern region?
Whose number of casualties is almost 7x as much as those of Ukrainian civilians during this special operation...
Where was the world then MidnightWatcher? Oh that's right the world didn't give a flying f and when they visited those regions said "We see no wrong here" and swept all evidence under the rug.

Ukraine will have to find some other women and children to lob their bombs at now.

I do see the wrong, and keep slapping you in the face with it.
Ukraine is allowed to defend itself from foreign invasion, and 'civilians' violently attacking their government and military in an illegal secession effort (civil war) are legitimate targets.
Don't like it?
Then go complain to russia about their 2014 invasion, they did this to themselves.

Ukraine leaders have been lying and deceiving and corrupt for many years. The fact that U.S. President Joe Biden and his Son (Hunter) loved to "do business" there, tells you all you need to know about Ukraine.

I did.
Why did you claim there was no fighting there?
"You see I'd agree with you there but the Eastern region never attacked any targets until they started being shelled by Kyiv and their Nazi boys."

I said there was no fighting there at first, the fighting started once Kyiv and their Nazi boys started shelling them. It happened a few months right after 2014 annexation of Crimea, because Donbas was like "Hey Putin we feel kind of threatened too can you help annex us too?".
So in panic, Kyiv called them separatists and terrorists and started shelling them, in return the Donbas region got together and started fighting Kyiv and their Nazi boys for the past 8 years.
However the fighting only happened after Kyiv decided to genocide them and shell them repeatedly!
