Russia has previously set red lines that were later crossed. Nothing happened.

Maybe so, but are certain leaders really ready to take the risk? They are gambling with the possibility of starting WWIII.  Once it begins, it will escalate quickly.

 Are you referring to this nonsense:

I can’t see Russia agreeing to it.  I guess we’ll find out.

I mean physically demilitarize western Russia.

 

As in "take out all Russian military infrastructure via ka-boom."

Not going to happen.  Or if it does, that will be the end of Ukraine.

Strike On Russian Strategic Early Warning Radar Site Is A Big Deal

 

Too late, Ukraine is working it's way through Russian radar sites

Too late?  I’m pretty sure Russia isn’t going to sit back and simply watch Ukraine work “its way through “ Russian radar sites.  That would be silly. They will respond, and the response might be significant.  According to the article you posted, those sites are an integral part of Russia’s strategic defense.  Whatever is going on with those sites, Russia will put an end to it.

You could be right, but Ukraine has been destroying infrastructure in Russia for some time, and Russia has yet to respond. Russia seems helpless to defend themselves.

Supposedly, Russia has one of the best air defense systems in the world.  So to term them “helpless” is probably wrong.  Maybe they’re just exercising extreme constraint?  That’s been evident from the beginning. They’re proceeding with caution.  
 

At some point, though, my guess is that they’ll change their tactics. Putin will have no choice.
 

As a side note, Ukraine now has access to Palantir software.  Artificial intelligence for the battlefield, so to speak. Russian targets being selected by a computer using real time data? I guess I’ve been making some nice gains this year, as I’ve been loading up on the stock since the $6 range. It’s now $21 or so.  And the company’s commercial business is growing quickly.  Anyway, for anyone with some patience, the sock might be a good buy for the long term.
