Yeah, I was totally wrong. I was pretty certain that Russia would be pursuing a limited, asymmetrical war, not full-scale invasion.
That said, even though these first 24 hours have been nuts, it is more likely to be a fairly limited engagement. Next couple of days will be decisive.
Just to be clear, one assumption didn't follow the other here. Now that Russia appears to have thrown its full weight at Ukraine, I expect - given the discrepancy in force capabilities - for it to be over very quickly.
But who knows? Maybe Ukraine will be able to bring some of their new Javelin ATGMs to bear against those huge Russian tank columns.
