> The example of Italy in WWII
You'd remember Napoleon. You're gonna figure it out. . .
You need to do something, and do it normally, then suddenly the importance of motivation increases dramatically.
If you are talking about some valuable cadres a la scientists, designers and all that, then, I repeat: humanity has been fighting for millennia and not on fists, there is no problem to involve neither cannon fodder nor the inventors of wunderwaflies. And not necessarily by force, the methods of influence can be completely different.

From the side of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation it is quite possible: to swing the TNF (for a couple of explosions, everyone will swell, express concern - and that's all), mobs of 300k, a universal mob, you can go back from Belarus, or you can also draw it in.
On the part of the AFU+NATO: go to Bryansk/Belgorod, arrange some spectacular provocation, increase the supply of conventional weapons, start deliveries of long-range weapons, join some Poles, suddenly, too, to draw Belarus.

Only three positions remain at the front.
You say it like it's three villages. There, each of the listed items will pull on a separate war.
>> If the collective West stops playing giveaways
It will not stop, for them the situation is generally wine-wine.
In general, my opinion: there will be such a gradual, measured, but escalation.
A neighbor who sends you three letters is notoriously bad to fuck with an axe. But you can punch him in the jaw, he pulls out a knife, and then you can take the axe.
