Has Putin swallowed too much of his own propaganda? Why send a few hundred of your elite forces to an airport where they will be cut off and overrun?
It would be as if we opened the Iraq War by sending Delta Force on a mission of no great benefit where they were likely to be wiped out.
My people tell me that the Russians bombed Borispol Airport, the main airport for Kiev. A cargo airport would be necessary.
Panic buying has emptied all grocery stores, and there is no gasoline available. The roads running west towards Poland and Hungary are jammed and nothing is moving.
This is quite the mess.
