That is a prediction. Predictions are hypothetical.
In the here and now, Russia is fighting for its sovereignty and its existential security.
Germany is sending missiles to attack deep into Russia. You've probably heard about WWII - which the Russians call the Patriotic War. They lost a lot of people in that war - hundreds, maybe even thousands. It was pretty tough on 'em. I don't know if you know this, but it was Germany that attacked them. They haven't forgotten.
And behind all of it is the U.S. The U.S., which pulled a coup in Ukraine and planted an Russophobic puppet government, which it encouraged to kill ethnic Russians using ACTUAL **** NAZIS to do the job. Right on Russia's border. And STILL Putin held back, tried to negotiate. For years. They made a treaty with him at Minsk, and later admitted - both the French and the German PMs - that they never intended to honor that treaty. That the treaty was only to buy time to build up their proxy while the provocations and sanctions and insults continued apace.
In the end, with every attempt at diplomacy being given the mean girl treatment by the west, Putin did what he was required by circumstance to do. Which was precisely what the west wanted him to do - boxed him in to do.
If we cannot deplore that because hypothetically, Russia might someday do the same, then we are embracing nihilism. I prefer not to do that.
That's about all I have to say about that. Now, I am off to purchase a Dachshund, because I'm a cowboy, and I want to get a long little doggy.

Only religions declare heresy; only lies require protection.
If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
