In the past 24 hours, I've probably heard five different 'Doctor Dooms' (war experts, Putin experts, etc) talk over Putin and plan 'B'. Most say....there never was a plan 'B' and that the war was supposed to take 72 hours to complete.
After pondering this....I will offer a couple of plan 'B' ideas/scenarios:
1. By early next week, if this Putin-War continues on.....the Russians have to escalate this and put out a massive amount of missiles....literally destroying/leveling all of Kiev. I don't think it changes much, and will convince the west to confiscate the frozen assets to hand back to the Ukrainians to rebuild their city (even if it takes 20 years). Russians end up paying.....not Putin.
2. Members of the United Front (Putin's party) will be confronted by friends/relatives and asked how this economic mess can be cured. The obvious answer.....print more Rubles. Instead of accepting a 20 to 50 percent inflate rate.....bring it up to 100 percent. Putin and his staff are all stupid enough to buy into this.
3. Create an enormous fake story that one single nuke missile was retained by the Ukraine, and it's fired (an actual Russian missile and fired by a Russian general) at some low population area east of Moscow....leading to Putin saying all-out nuke war will occur now....shooting twenty-odd nuke missiles into the Ukraine.
4. Finally, announce that all Ukrainian Nazis have been eradicated, and the mission is complete. Immediately erect a monument in Moscow to the brave young Russian soldiers who fought the evil Nazis. Pretend now that this was the sole purpose for the war.
Realistically.....none of these work, as a true 'plan B', but I doubt if any member of the military staff considered this as a requirement to start with.
