Also, Russia is a nuclear power. There is likely a line where Putin will respond with nuclear bombardment. The trick is, where is that line?
The honest answer is no one knows. The line is subject to change. My opinion is foreign troops threatening Russia.
Hypothetical (I hope for now and forever) If, say, France actually put soldiers in Ukraine Russia would do all sorts of shenanigans short of nuking anyone. If French and Ukrainian troops entered Russia, then we'd see tactical nukes used on Ukrainian soil for certain.
Would that be Russia the proper agreed upon boundaries by most of the world, Russia including currently occupied areas of Ukraine, or Russia by historic boundaries which would include all of Ukraine?
Also, are you answering as if it's a Monday morning, or a Thursday afternoon?
I think we are on the same side of the argument, I'm just going down a rabbit hole of "how do you even begin to predict where Putin just flips the damn table?"
