Putin was happy when he could blast Ukraine but
they could not blast him back. This new prospect,
well, was not THAT long ago Putin said such things
would be an act of war against Russia by whomever
supplied the missiles.
Would Putin go so far to directly attack Germany ?
I *doubt* it, but he could go after German assets
like military and commercial shipping, energy/data
lines, those sorts of things. Expect more sabotage
squads too. China has enough of an economic
foothold in Germany to help make things difficult.
What he's up to on the Finnish border, this is a
mystery. Enough troops to be a distraction but
not enough of anything to be an invasion force.
In any case, the missiles provided by Germany,
plus the UK and USA, CAN hit large rearward
supply depots and infrastructure. Not sure they
can reach as far as Moscow proper, alas if they
DO then Putin would HAVE to retaliate severely
for political reasons. Russians love STRONG
leaders, czars.
