Because Russia Would Say: “Fuck All Y’all!”

I know everyone is a military expert now, but I'd like to know how anyone thinks that Russia - currently trapped in Ukraine and running low on supplies - is supposed to pivot to a lightning war against NATO in the west.
They planned UKR for *months* and this is what it got them.

...and go nuclear? ☢️ 

I’m no military expert, but isn’t that what everybody else is thinking? And what’s being done is probably just as effective (takes time to prepare troops, formulate plans, coordinate command, and move into position):

Ukrainian special forces, trained and armed by the U.S. and allies, hold off the Russian onslaught on Kyiv’s outskirts. Our report from the frontline in Irpin. https://t.co/8CWWuN4ezv

Besides, there's this:

Combined with economic sanctions, free-fall of Russian currency, pull-back of Western companies (essential for any part of Russian economy) and the consequences of having a highly corrupt and militarized economy, Russia will face also internal troubles very soon /7

Russia will also pressure the West to force Ukraine into a "peace" out of "humanitarian reasons". I already see these attempts. This would be death for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian, a true genocide, and slavery for dozens of millions. And it is Putin's last hope /9

Russian occupation forces in these regions are holding only because of allegedly strength of Moscow. When Moscow army will be eliminated (and it nearly is), nobody can force the Bashkortostan to follow orders from the Kremlin. Nobody will stop Chechens to avenge their dead /11

Of course, the next days will be hard. And the nuclear threat remains very real (nukes seem to be the only weapons Putin can rely on). But I am also sure - very soon we will face a shiny glorious future without the Prison of Nations. Thank to brave Ukrainians. Слава Україні! END

Why interfere with your enemy when he's hitting himself in the face?
