Will Ukraine fight or run? Look at all the weapons we left in Kabul? Do they have the will to fight? My bet the Gov. of Kiev will run for the border and the army retreat. BUT, I don’t think that’s part of Putin’s big plan. It is not what we think. We think like “D-Day” they are more apt to use more subtitle means. Remember, Putin was trained as KGB—The poison cup and assassins bullet is more his speed. He has plans but we will not see them till May. Who will he not assassinate? Biden.
Correct, why commit troops when you can make propaganda to make your takeover palatable to Americans of all persuasions and pacify all potential opposition from the superpower you no longer fear?
