Two thoughts: 1) a landing Starship is a helluva target; 2) sending an invasion force to Moscow is effectively sending a large number of big ballistic missiles to Moscow, how do you let the enemy know you are “just” invading them and not starting WW3?

It is an interesting concept of using a Starship to attack/invade another country. There would still be significant security and logistics to consider. First, you would have to secure the land and air of the landing site. Big Starship = big target. Second, loading and offloading process would have to be rapid…stationary targets are easy targets. Third, you would need logistics support to “catch” and offload a Starship in the target area. Not as easy as a helo with a small platoon to drop off. There are a lot of smart military logisticians that could figure it out. Food for thought.
