Not yet but they can easily become the new Afghanistan for Russia. A full scale invasion by Russian nis very unlikely as Putin knows it WILL bring NATO into the conflict and that will be the end of Putin. Arming the rebels and providing small amount of forces as he is doing now is the most likely way Putin will go, leading to an Afghanistan or Vietnam type situation.Ukraine is not going to be able to do jack with Russia militarily without direct U.S. military intervention. Militarily, without direct U.S. intervention, Russia can indeed take Ukraine. THAT IS FACT. UKRAINE IS NOT AFGHANISTAN NOR VIETNAM.
Never said arming Ukraine will get Russians to remove Putin.What is stupid is for the U.S. to think that arming Ukraine will cause the Russian people to remove Putin. They will simply rally around the flag. Man what a stupid idea.
Putin`s corruption, endless war, crappy economy etc will be reasons to remove him.
