He must be the luckiest Russian Leader ever. It quite possible that we are seeing a Russian victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.

Even if they win, they have still lost. The damage done to Russia by this war is nothing compared to the damage that will be inflicted when Moscow discovers that insurgencies are just as expensive and much less soluble.

It seems clear to me that Putin is successfully driving a wedge into the Western Alliance, and separating America from it.

Not to mention attempting to fracture Europe - see Hungary etc and their obvious supporting (along with others..) the extremists in places like Germany and France and elsewhere. Anyone who can't see what's going on is either blind or not looking…or supportive.

In one respect, I almost admire Putin for how well he has played the game…almost.

Seem to forget who invaded whom and that if Russia truly wanted and end to the killing and destruction, they always had the power to do so…by pulling out and stopping the attacks. Simple really. Even a half baked dimwit can see that.

I'm not feeling too well myself.
