Which is why Putin needs to be shown a face saving exit.
Nuclear holocaust.What face saving exit does he have, other than victory?
Nuclear holocaust.
14 years of contact with Polish people pays off when listening to this guy (... colorful language):
im so sorry - lets blame stress level for this
He doesn't care. Unlike going out with a nuclear bang, a powerful USSR is a fantasy not a goal.That's not face saving, because his country has become a nuclear waste land too and he has no country left to rule. His only face saving event is total victory and a powerful USSR.
he said that artillery has been called and targeted by lady from ukrainian army - highest respect ver professionally done job. Funny story from today's news - Russian have lost one of their drones shoot down by other ukrainian lady with jar of pickles... wellll if it is true is even hard to comment this...

So, what other option does Putin have? Just keep hitting Ukraine for months? I am surprised the Russians havent attacked western Ukraine along the border with Poland in order to cut off the flood of reinforcements.
I think Vlad is shooting for Imperial Russia more than the Soviet version. He seems to prefer being Tsar. Check out his imperial guards and gold leaf all over the place.

He can always do what we did in Afghanistan last year. Fight there a couple of years and then declare it "not our problem" and leave.So, what other option does Putin have? Just keep hitting Ukraine for months?
Just watched a video from BBC Newsnight. "Putin's power: Can anyone stop the Russian President?"
A Russian former minister and a former British ambassador to Russia were interviewed. Their conclusion was the only way to stop Putin was by military defeat on the battlefield.
What I liked most was the urging of Lend-Lease for Ukraine.
no he was probably his nephew...Is Vitaly Gerasimov related to Valery Gerasimov, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation? They're both from Kazan, Tatar, and there are some facial similarities.

According to Wikipedia (yes, I know...) Valery Gerasimov was born in 1955 and was married with one son. Vitaly Gerasimov was born in 1977. Was Vitaly the son of Valery?
