My theory is they plan to flank the entire front line by going through Russian territory. Then use the occupied territory as leverage to get reparations from Russia, as well as a peace treaty obviously.
@Ilovethebomb @LaFinlandia that or just plain walk into Moscow and St. Petersburg and tell Vladimir that they're running the place now. From what I can tell about the Russian economy, he's not doing a great job and they might go for that. Who knows. I don't pretend to understand Russian politics.
While it's fun to dream, I think foreign troops advancing on Moscow is something that actually might get a nuclear response.
