So why bother getting bogged down because you stopped there, and instead put some tried and tested tactics to work, and catch NATO off-guard.
*Disclaimer* I don't actually think this is gonna happen, but from a strategic point of view, it'd make sense to do the above if they were going to do it.
I am not sure you entirely understand why the Russians would be the first ones to clearly perceive that blitzkrieg won't work.
Worked on western europe pretty solidly. Just because the Russians managed to beat it, doesn't mean they don't see it's strengths.
The only reasons it didn't work in Russia was due to A) crappy supply lines and B), unlike every other country, Russia chucked everybody they had at them, instead of surrendering. Chuck enough bodies under a tank's tracks and eventually it is gonna get stuck,
