Mickey has been crystal clear about his position. He is not a war mongering Bush/Binden neocon.

He would have preferred peace. Mickey is gonna be disappointed.

Come late spring and summer shit is gonna get real. This has been the winter leagues

The most likely scenario is another Russian offensive that stalls due to their incompetency. But if Russia does “win”, what is the occupation going to look like? It’s not going to be pretty.
