“Putin doesnt understand what hit him.”
Apparently he hasn’t figured out that Crimea and Ukraine are money pits. Crimea is just a resort lacking infrastructure. It would be like annexing Detroit. Hey, That’s an idea!
Crimea has the naval base at Sevastopol. Russia’s Black Sea Fleet is based there.
The Donbass on the other hand, hasn’t been annexed because its smokestack decrepit economy would cost a fortune to rebuild.
Putin is many things, but being an idiot ain’t one of them.
