Comfort blanket

 Children when they are upset, they have a blanket to hug it and cover them.

Adults have the delusions as comfort blanket.

Many people including Zelenski said that there will be no invasion. Many though that it will be only in the East.

Now Moldova says the same thing now.

PS. It seems to me that this Ukrainian Russian war is similar to Chinese Vietnamese war from 1975.

China tried to conquer Vietnam or as it claim to teach them a lesson that their ally Soviet Union is too far.

They were reppelled.

Even if Ukraine push back Russia. This war showed the limits of US-Ukraine alliance
