he'll lose...they know exactly what resources he is still sitting on, how many real soldiers he has scattered around, how many real pilots he has available...and it isn't enough for a full on confrontation. he's already lost men that could have been used to operate the logistical train, using them as front line soldiers when they weren't even close to ready for that, he's already used up all his back up weapons systems..he still has some high end equipment sitting in reserve, but it will all be high priority targets, and the weaponry he could have used to defend his new equipment, or replace some of it as it is destroyed, won't be there when he needs it, having been destroyed in Ukraine, mostly from the negligence of the russian officers in charge of it.I think this is a chess game, the opening losses of pawns is inevitable if the goal is the other player’s King. I see that Putin wants to engage in ww3 and we are blinded, thevwest think he’s playing conventional warfare because he wants Ukraine, he wants to engage NATO because he feels insulted by them, he wants full scale dominance.
if he really wanted to face off against NATO, all he has to do is "overshoot" a little and land a few missiles in Poland, or Moldova, seems like he's being pretty careful not to do that, at least at the moment.
