All this talk worries me. The west is truly run by deranged people drunk on the kool-aid their predecessors crafted.
Indeed, while it would obviously be absolute insanity for the west to put boots on the ground, last two years have shown us that the people running western regimes are not rational. Now they're like rabid dogs backed into a corner.
It would be a gamble, not insanity. If actual western militaries turn out to work well, then it's a prestige boost.
Otherwise they'll have to return to levee en masse and reintroduce conscription and mass training, because every third world dictator will realize that lots of infantry is still good, and some western army of 20 thousand well-paid specialists can be stomped by a 60k army of Muslim child soldiers unable to read.
There's a bit of an issue with the Russian army now being a bit more experienced than it was.
Those people who spent billions buying up Ukrainian property want their money back. They didn't care how many Ukrainians had to die for them to buy the property in the first place. They won't care how many others are made to follow suit.
Here's hoping if they get it back, it comes in the form of the most fertile and recently-tilled graveyards west of the Dnieper 😂
