“If Putin gets away with invading Ukraine, do they really think he'll just say "thank you very much, I'll stop there"?”
Yes: if you read/ believe the US neo-con Russophobic warmongers who write eg in The Atlantic Council!
No: if you read/ believe other more considered, less warmongery types who write for eg The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft!

Personally, I’m more inclined to the view that Putin has *never* intended to invade Europe after sorting out Ukraine! However, imo it’s quite possible that Trump’s deranged administration would welcome a Russia-Europe war & could even foment one in order to weaken both sides & boost US “primacy”!

Potentially even look for Pershing (II) rockets if not kickstarting a Pershing-III-Program, basically worsening #Russia's "safety" more than the Soviet #Nukes on #Cuba did the USA in 1962.
So yeah, #Putin fucked up big time, and at this point, #Ikraine troops are mostly doing "cleanup" in the east and southeast.
If they wanted they could likely mobilize a spearheaded decapitation run to Moscow since there's not much...
