I dont see a way out for Putin which is a scary thing.
I have seen claims that Ukraine is violating the Geneva convention with all of this parading around of dead and captured soldiers...but it is effective in their propaganda war.
Are you aware of the intensive 75 year long, cradle to grave, all encompassing propaganda campaign about the Great Patriotic War in Russia? Remember the price paid the last time the Russians had this type of threat directly on their border? I guarantee you the average Russian citizen hasn’t forgotten. Massed NATO armored formations on their border fits the very real threat (this time) they’ve been warned about for 70 years. This incursion jives with everything the Russians have been told. I’m hesitant to guess what the Russian average citizen believes about this but I know you and I are being buried in an disinformation tsunami. This is NOW a nuclear confrontation between NATO and Russia. Why are we anxious to risk such a horrific miscalculation based on the laughable lies being spread by the usual DS/NWO media suspects? There is no way out for Putin or us but a negotiated settlement. The Russians are as adamant about this as we were over Cuban nukes. Sorry for being so long winded.
