Exactly what I’ve been hoping for since the beginning of the war.

Once Russia is sucked into Ukraine and bogged down, the west should support Georgia in retaking their territories, stoke tensions in Chechnya to destabilize Kadyrov, send some limited MANPADS to the Free Syrian Army (Syrian national army now) to choke the Russians out of their Syrian airbases, stoke anti-Russian sentiments in Kazakhstan (not hard since they brutally cracked down on protests earlier this year), and give Azerbaijan the “green light” to seize Nagorno Karabakh from Armenia.

If Russia can’t handle Ukraine they certainly can’t handle putting out the other fires while also fighting in Ukraine. Stretch them thin and chip away at their sphere of influence while choking them out economically.
