Slightly smaller landmass and population than Ukraine, mostly sunni muslims, largest military in Central Asia, desolate landscape of deserts and mountains with few sources of fresh water. Doesn't share a border with russia and is surrounded by countries that have been distancing themselves from russia, or have been recently stabbed in the back by them.
Basically a Ukraine war fought in Afghanistan with Jihad sprinkled on top.
Only an idiot would go for this, especially given the current state of russia, but seeing as the leadership is batsh*t insane I say Go For It!
